Simple. Start a timer on mouse down, invalidate it on mouse up.
Something like this (written in mail):

NSTimer *timer;

-(void)mouseDown:(NSEvent*)ev
{
    timer=[[[NSTimer alloc] blah ...] retain];
}

-(void)mouseUp:(NSEvent*)ev
{
   if ( [timer isValid] ) {
       [timer invalidate];
       [timer release];
       timer = nil;
    } else {
     // perform single-click action
    }
}

-(void)performHoldAction:(NSTimer*)tmr
{
   // pop up menu
}
