You might look at http://groups.google.com/group/webdebugprotocol?hl=en

Are you only interested in JS debugging? Then all of the action in 
Firebug is in two files:
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/source/browse/branches/firebug1.5/components/firebug-service.js
http://code.google.com/p/fbug/source/browse/branches/firebug1.5/content/firebug/debugger.js

Pretty standard stuff, except for the eval/event support.
