That is a seriously good framework, and the documentation is great too.
My only issue with regexkit is that it uses PCRE instead of ICU.PCRE has to be compiled into the library, making it larger (whereas ICU is already built into the OS.)
PCRE is also, last I checked, less I18N-savvy than ICU. This has given me grief in the past; I used PRCE-based regex code in a project 3 years ago, and as soon as the Japanese and Korean testers started working with it, they found that the app's text searching didn't work correctly for them. (In a nutshell, PCRE's notion of "alphabetic characters" and "word breaks" only works for Roman writing systems.)
Unfortunately I don't know of a comparable Cocoa regex library that uses ICU. (NSPredicate does, but its support for regexes is very limited, as already discussed in this thread.)
