Is there example code available that accomplishes this? I am in fact
implementing drawRect but would have no clue where to start with this
particular effect.

It is my understanding that you cannot (currently) give a view a
shadow. If, however, you are custom drawing using the view's
drawRect: method, you can drop the shadow during the drawing. For
example, you can do a fill with a shadow. This may or may not
achieve the effect you're looking for. You'll also run up against
the view's bounds, so you'll need to take that into account.

The custom view is a subview of an NSBox, so it seems to me that
subclassing NSBox would be the proper course of action.
unfortunately, I was unable to find any example code for applying
shadows to views themselves, as opposed to their contents. Does
anyone have any advice for approaching this problem?
