secrets.el was initiated as implementation of D-Bus'
org.freedesktop.secrets interface. Does there exist a a server under OS
X for that? I know the Gnome (keyring) and KDE (kwallet) implementations
so far, a short search does not return results for OS X.
The functions in secrets.el are designed to give simple access to that
interface.

Could be. But I believe a more clean solution would be to implement an
own package for OS X Keychain Services, which will be integrated into
auth-source then. Other Lisp packages will likely call auth-source
functions, instead those of secrets.el.
Best regards, Michael.
