I explain how to do this in my book on declares at
<http://www.declareSub.com/>.  See the section on soft declares in
chapter 2.  Basically, you declare a function as follows.

Soft Declare Sub Foo Lib "@executable_path/../Frameworks/Foo.bundle" ()

Thanks - related question. What about Debug mode? Is this always necessary then?

#if DebugBuild
        Soft Declare Sub Foo Lib "FooLib.dylib" ()
#else
Soft Declare Sub Foo Lib "@executable_path/../Frameworks/FooLib.dylib" ()
#endif
