I'm working on the user interface for my first Cocoa application. I'm curious, is there a standard class for the type of button which sends an action when clicked OR opens a menu when the mouse button is pressed and held for a short time (i.e. the Build button in XCode)?

No.

If not, would subclassing NSButton to set an NSTimer on mouseDown: that shows the menu and short-circuits the button's tracking loop be the best way to handle it? Or is there a way to subclass NSPopUpButton that would be easier?

You can probably make your own variation of NSPopUpButton. The control Xcode uses is not common; most applications use a custom pop- up button instead (see Pages and Keynote for example).
