If your Mac has an IP it must be using TCP/IP.
Therefore you _should_ be able to just ping
the mac name and it should return the IP address.
Perhaps I'm not quite understanding what you
are looking for...

For appletalk lookups there is a utility called
nbplkup which displays appletalk addresses.

Also, I have my local network setup on DNS
so if I do 'host 10.0.0.1' it returns the associated
hostname.
