Apple's Security framework provides this sort of functionality in
Cocoa. It looks like at least parts of it are open source:

I don't know if that will do what you want but it may be a place to
start.

Hello,
I'm working on an application that would require elevated
privileges during certain functions. I would like to implement
something like the SuSE Yast setup tool, where if a function is
selected by a non privileged user, a prompt is presented for the
root password, which in turn allows the function to perform
properly. I don't know what the technique is to achieve this. So
far I'm looking at Linux "capabilities", libcap, but I'm not sure
this is the right direction and if this solution would be portable,
to say a BSD based GNUstep system.
Many thanks for your help
Steven
