GLib has support for dynamically loading of modules.  There is an
excellent presentation available, namely "Creating a Plugin System Using
GTypeModule" by Michael Natterer.  It's available at
http://www.imendio.com/guadec2006

Furthermore, you might want to look at established applications that
have plugin systems.  The Epiphany webbrowser and the Rhythmbox music
player come to mind, but there are many more.
