I looked for this too 6 months ago, I couldn't find anything at all.
Were it not for the existence of the ICD2 and some cryptic comments on
the data sheets you'd never know what an 18F part could do.

I think microchip very much wants to sell you the ICD2, I haven't seen
3rd party ICD tools for the 18F series.  This is frustrating because I
find it works very poorly with the CCS C compiler (and there is
basically no way to tell where the problem lies) and will never have
linux support.

For my 2 upcoming major projects I'm getting into AVRs, where the
debugging protocol follows standards, the programming hardware is cheap
(1/2 microchip price) and there is a GCC port.
