The Apple guidelines talk about using a source list - how do I create this source list, either in Carbon or Cocoa? Is there an official API somewhere for this component?

When you use an input source, you can type in any language that uses the same script or alphabet. Learn how to use input sources.
Apple announced open sourcing its Swift programming language last year. Now it has shocked the world by announcing that it is going to open source its flagship Mac OS X operating system.
ABC is just the same as US but you don't have an American flag. Some users outside the US may find that preferable. ABC-Extended (formerly called US Extended) is much like US or ABC, but it lets you type a whole lot more accented characters via option key shortcuts.
A source list in Cocoa is just an NSOutlineView configured in a particular way. You can drag one out in Interface Builder and set the highlight mode to Source List. You'll probably also want to turn off the header row, change it to a single column, and change the visible scrollbars on the enclosing NSScrollView.
You'll also need to implement the delegate method to determine which rows should be the "Group Rows":
- (BOOL)outlineView:(NSOutlineView *)outlineView isGroupItem:(id)item
Apple provided sample code http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/SourceView demonstrates how to build a fully featured source list.
