How would a software solution work to detect a open-wire condition in a normally NO switch ?

Just see what the roboRIO reports back.
If the switch is normally closed:
if (!getSwitch()) //This will happen when the switch opens
{
Do stuff
}
If the switch is normally open
if(getSwitch () ) //This will happen when the switch closes
{
Do stuff
}
Obviously this is not the correct function call, but just an example of how you would code it. (I am assuming that when the switch is closed, the function will return TRUE. If it's the other way around, switch my code...)
Edit: I assumed incorrectly. According to the documentation that GeeTwo linked to, when the switch is OPEN, the value is 1, when it is CLOSED the value is 0.
