Hi, I'm currently working on a library (about 85% done at the moment) that does some of the things you want. I too am a SuperCollider user and once I wanted to make a clean library implementation (fork) of scsynth to use with mobile development. When I brought up the case in sc-dev mailing list, I've learned that I can't distribute my art through Apple appstore because the GPL binary distribution clauses aren't compatible with Apple agreement. So even if I provide the full source with my art, I am not allowed to distribute it in binary form if the source is GPL'ed. This was the consensus so I backed off.
Now I've made a kind of lame audio server implementation which is heavily influenced by scsynth. I have nodes but they are restricted to synths at this moment so there are no groups. I've ported many of the SuperCollider UGens (recoded all of them by hand, followed through the original sources and all). I also do not have FFT (yet) and multichannel expansion like things but it is not very hard to achieve. It is easy to connect UGens to parameters of other UGens and such. I'm quite happy with it overall for the time being. The good part is that I've made the implementation in haXe (http://www.haxe.org ) language so I can target the same DSP code for Flash (Flash 10+ supports realtime audio), JavaScript (for the upcoming audio api for js in firefox 4) and I can also emit C++ code for mobile development. The performance is quite good (only tested in flash yet though, a very pessimistic ballpark would be that it is half as efficient as scsynth running in a browser with Flash). I'll open source it at some moment but not under GPL. I can use some help so if anyone is interested in helping to make it release ready, drop me a line.
