I remember some fuss being made about this in the early days of OS X, about "looking glass" (the gui system) using display postscript. Anybody know anything about that? If it's still a part of OS X or if it fell by the way side?

OSX was alleged (by Apple, even) to use PDF as the display language, but Quartz just has an object model that maps very nicely to PDF, making PDF transformations and export very easy.
