I believe that the former is available from The Omni Group. I have an  
old (11/08) copy of BibDesk source, and it contains this (so I'm  
assuming it's freely available).

The latter should be on your system.  It's found in
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Foundation.fromework/Headers
and the compiler tracks it down with some sort of compiler foo.  For  
example, the following

#include <Foundation/Foundation.h>
main()
{
    printf("Eek!\n");
}

compiles without complaints of missing headers (but lots of others, of  
course).
