"Learning Cocoa" (1st edition) uses NSBeginAlertSheet, which is still a 
function, but it does incorporate selectors. In that respect it's more 
"Cocoa-ish" than switching on the return code of NSRunAlertPanel.

file:///System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/
Resources/English.lproj/Documentation/Reference/ObjC_classic/Functions/
AppKitFunctions.html

There's also
file:///Developer/Documentation/Cocoa/TasksAndConcepts/
ProgrammingTopics/WinPanel/iUsingModalWindows.html

which is probably intended for far more complex situations than simple 
alert panels.
