Anyone know if Audiomulch allows you to write your own "externals" - other than going the VST route.
No. AM is closed source [="black box"], and is developed as a commercial software [eventually], so I don't think it's part of Ross Bencina's plan to open it up to anonymous developers. You'd have to go the VST route.
Any of these - PD, Max/MSP, Audiomulch support something like rewire?
This is where Linux comes in! Under Linux, you have a system called Jack-Audio-Connection-Kit, which routes audio signals between clients in the same way that ReWire does, but which is not closed and proprietary [thus expanding the possible applications which can work with it]. It is compatible with Portaudio on the Mac as well, although I haven't met anyone who has gotten JACK working there yet. But under Linux it is stable and runs like a dream!
