I am about to port an application from windows to Mac OS9 / OSX (most
likely using PowerPlant).

One area I am unfamiliar with is the use of COM plugins in windows.

What would be our equivilent technology?

The CFPlugIn module of Carbon corresponds almost exactly to Microsoft
COM. It has the basic IUnknown support, and I believe gcc will lay the
COM interface out the same way in memory as Microsoft does. Higher
level stuff is different, since Microsoft has IDispatch, class
factories, aggregation etc. which may have to be manually done on the
Mac side.
