I made an object for the 'apple' library called [smc] which gives you read access to the Apple System Management Controller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_Management_Controller ). This allows you to get temperatures from sensors, like the CPU temp, and also info about the fans, like speed, min, max, etc. There are lots of other possibilities to explore.
Also, write access is possible, like to set the fan speed, but I haven't really tested it. It needs a bit more work to be easy, but you should be able to send byte sequences. Watch out, you could do something stupid like turn your fan off, cooking your computer!
