This certainly can be easily done using a tab control. The downside

This is not the end of the world, however I am starting with a
"clean slate"
here, and I want to design the best app possible, as well as learn and
implement Cocoa's best practices early on.
You can load views into tabs from multiple NIBs as needed - under 10.5
using NSViewController (or some manual grunt work under 10.4).
Basically just have a "place holder view" that is in the tab view, and
set up the tab views delegate to replace the place holder view with
the "real" contents when that tab is about to be shown.
I've done this in the past (not so much due to the performance issues
of NIB loading, but rather due to the pain of editing deeply nested
views within tab views that manifests in various ways in different
versions of IB)
