Yes -- design your GUI in IB and have the actions that fire on widget
changes send OSC to SuperCollider (either directly to the server, or
intermediated through the lang -- whatever is appropriate for your
situtation).

I just completed an installation that works exactly this way: sound
synthesis in SC, GUI in Cocoa (it's a floor wax, and a desert
topping...).

There is a *very* rudimentary example at:

  http://www.mat.ucsb.edu/~c.ramakr/illposed/objcosc.html

  (Although in this example, communication is only one way,
   in the installation, communication is in both directions.)

If you actually do ust that ObjCOSC library, let me know -- there's a
newer version which you'll want and I can send you an email when I get
the code cleaned-up and update the website.
