Actually, it has a position. floatvalue is 0.0 if at top and 1.0 if at bottom, no matter the size of the knob. I use this myself and it works perfectly.

From the cocoa documentation on NSScroller:
----------------------------------------
Commonly Used Methods

 hitPart
Indicates where the user clicked the NSScroller.

 floatValue (NSControl)
Returns the position of the NSScrollers knob.

 setFloatValue:knobProportion:
Sets the position and size of the NSScrollers knob.

Thought this was a simple question to start with...

It looks like a scroll bar doesn't have a position because it represents a range, not a precise location like an NSSlider does.

You can use -knobProportion to find to out what proportion of the slot the knob fills.

You can use -rectForPart:NSScrollerKnob and -rectForPart:NSScrollerKnobSlot to get the rects that the knob and its slot occupy, then do some maths.

An NSTextView is in an NSClipView is in an NSScrollView. You can use -superview to get to the scroll view then use -documentVisibleRect to find out what part of the text is visible.

Hope this helps,
