quiver3(x0,y0,z0,x0*(1+1/norm([x0,y0,z0])),y0*(1+1/norm([x0,y0,z0])),z0*(1+1/norm([x0,y0,z0])))

Does the normal vector have to look like an arrow? If not, then with [nx,ny,nz] as the unit normal, you could do,
line([x0,x0+nx], ...
[y0,y0+ny],
[y0,y0+nz])
Once you've plotted the sphere and plane, then with [nx,ny,nz] as the unit normal,
hold on
quiver3(x0,y0,z0, nx,ny,nz);
hold off
