You'll basically be writing a custom object to wrap an NSArray in an object 
with a semaphore to make it threadsafe. Arrays are not threadsafe by default. 

Cocoa doesn't have a semaphore object beyond the NSLock mutex. However, you can 
find an implementation of a semaphore here:

http://cocoaheads.byu.edu/wiki/locks

If you need more info, I can write more later when I'm not pecking at keys on a 
2" screen.
