Perhaps you should take a few steps back and very generally describe
what you are trying to do...
From what you have described, I would discourage doing what you want to
do. The reason is that a pop-down arrow in OS X universally means that
a menu will be presented when the arrow is clicked. Any aberration
from this principle will likely confuse the user.
Perhaps you simply want a disclosure triangle?

In Carbon, one can create a popup button without the selected item
visible by creating the control in IB and shrinking it down to just
the width of the disclosure arrow (24 pixels). This does not work with
Cocoa's NSPopUpButton; the attempt causes the selected item area to
intrude on the disclosure arrow area. My question: Can you either 1)
get the Cocoa button to draw the way the Carbon one does, 2) Embed the
Carbon version into a Cocoa window (my attempts at this have failed
miserably), or 3) Create a control that's just the arrow instead of
the entire popup menu?
