You'll need to use File Manager functions for this. See

https://tcobrowser.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/tcobrowser/trunk/bibdesk/vendorsrc/amaxwell/FileView/FVFinderLabel.m

for a Cocoa wrapper (near the bottom of the file).  Since Finder 
labels aren't indexed, using the File Manager directly is likely as 
fast as MDItem.  There's also a class there for a Finder label view 
that looks very similar to Finder's (10.5 only).
