Part of the solution to this is in Nico's message here:

You could make it do it 'on the fly', too, with some autocommands...
here's a rough sketch of one way to do it (I don't have much time right
now!):
command PLXml %!plutil -convert xml1 -o - /dev/stdin
command PLBinary %!plutil -convert binary1 -o - /dev/stdin
au BufReadPre *.plist setlocal binary
au BufReadPost *.plist call s:PlistOpenOnTheFly()
au BufWritePre *.plist call s:PlistWritePre()
au BufWritePost *.plist call s:PlistOpenOnTheFly()
func! s:PlistOpenOnTheFly()
let b:plist_was_binary = 0
if getline(1)[0] != '<'
" Is that a valid way to check it's binary?!
PLXml
let b:plist_was_binary = 1
endif
endfunc
func! s:PlistWritePre()
if exists('b:plist_was_binary') && b:plist_was_binary == 1
PLBinary
endif
endfunc
Default is to write XML plists, but you can obviously change that logic.
Haven't tested at all...and don't really know what I'm doing...used
/dev/stdin rather than - to play it safe...it should be a good starting
point anyway...
