First of all you need speak accurately. There is no such thing as a NavigationController or a ViewController, and if you mean UIViewController there's no such as a button on one since a UIViewController is not a UIView. And then "go from" doesn't mean much either. Do you mean you want to draw a connection? Or that you'd like the user to be able to tap the button and cause a split view to appear?
I'd avoid storyboards if I were you; they actually just make your life more complicated. And I'd avoid UISplitViewController! They are poorly written and rather inflexible. On iOS 5 if you want to split the view into two, you can easily do better than UISplitViewController, because you're now allowed to write your own container / parent view controllers. Here's an example modeled after the iOS 5 iPad Mail app:
