I see -- the most similar thing to this one is provided by msgSendf. You would have to rewrite msgSendf as a function that follows the libffi closure API, and then pass it to the ffi_prep_closure together with an ffi_cif (there is already code to construct ffi_cif from a CFunctionDescriptor). See for example http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/ffi_prep_closure.3.html (the main difference is that, in the example, foo_closure does not look at its CIF argument).

Due to the fact that I need to create callbacks dynamically based on third party data I get (dynamically as well :-( ) I think there is no way around libffi. Maybe I can reuse the existing parameter stuff around #cCall: for inbound calls.

Yes, most of it is written for libffi so it can be recycled for this setting too. It's in cint.c.
