NSSavePanel has this functionality built-in... – Andrew Madsen
There's no associated function. It's free. If you use NSSavePanel to let the user pick a location to save a file, it will automatically warn them and ask for confirmation if the path they select already exists. Really, just try it and you'll see... – Andrew Madsen

This code is tested and works. It will warn you if the file already exists. The save panel and the file replacement alert will be appear in whatever language Mac OS X is set to use (see screenshot for Japanese example):

- (IBAction)saveTestFile:(id)sender 
{
    NSString *saveString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Hello World, it's %@!", [NSDate date]];
    NSSavePanel *savePanel = [NSSavePanel savePanel];
    if ([savePanel runModal] == NSFileHandlingPanelOKButton)
    {
        NSURL *saveURL = [savePanel URL];
        NSError *error = nil;
        if (![saveString writeToURL:saveURL atomically:YES encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:&error])
        {
            NSLog(@"Unable to save file: %@", error);
        }
    }
}
