I'm looking to use a progress bar in my application, that the user

I wondered if there was a simple way of doing this, maybe a few
calls to an NSProgressIndicator
to switch it's display behaviour?
Nope. That's a custom control. If your project is going to be open
source, you could take a look at the MPlayer code to see how
they're doing it.
BTW -- that's called a scrub bar. The only way I know how to get
one for free (which looks a tad different than iTunes's, though) is
to use QuickTime. A QuickTime movie controller supports scrubbing. If
your content is of a QuickTime-recognised format, that might suffice.
If you were really desperate, I'd guess you could register your own
QuickTime atom type that contains just enough information to make the
movie controller work. But really, in that case I'd rather go through
the hassle of creating my own custom control (keep in mind you also
need accessibility for your custom control).
