Thanks again Anuj for your answer. I thought I'd leave a tip or two about how to do this. The binding library wasn't difficult to build (still tweaking it but it's not a difficult task).

The more obscure part was figuring out how to get the SpeechKit framework linked. The samples only show how to link a .a or .dylib. After spending a little time with the ld(1) man page on OSX, it looks like the correct ld (and therefore gcc) arguments for linking with a framework are the following:

-gcc_flags "-F -framework SpeechKit"

You put this in a textbox in the project properties - under Build :: iPhone Build :: Additional mtouch arguments

Note that -L doesn't work because this isn't a library; also note that -force_load and -ObjC referenced here don't appear necessary because, again, this is a framework and not a library.
