One way which should work would be to use the Accessibility Framework (NSAccessibility Protocol, Carbon Accessibility Reference and AXUIElement.h), but you would have to make your application a trusted app or ask the user to enable accessibility access. There is a AXMenuItemMarkChar type in the Carbon reference containing information on whether a specific menu item is checked or not.
