I've been working on this on and off for close to two years now:

http://git.xfce.org/bindings/glib-objc/

(Note that I'm currently working on the no-foundation-dep branch to
remove the dependency on libFoundation in favor of using glib-ish types.)

It's far from complete, has no documentation, and I'm still not
completely happy with the design of the base GObject wrapper.  I haven't
yet worked on any automated tools for generating bindings.  Not sure if
it'd be all useful for you, but maybe it's worth a look as a starting
point.  I'd certainly be happy to collaborate if you think it's worthwhile.
