I don't think you can fully detach it, but you can come close depending on what setup you want to do.
In Xcode's Preferences under Behaviors you can set various debugging actions to open a new tab. Give the tab a name, and debug your application. When the tab opens, if you drag it off as a secondary window, then it will reappear as a window instead of a tab in the future. You can configure this window however you like, including opening the console window up to cover most of the area etc. About the only thing the window doesn't seem to remember is if the toolbar is visible or not (which I need to file a bug on).
Since this is really a full debug window, you can do whatever other debugging tasks you desire here as well. You can also still have Xcode do other debugging manipulations to the main project window. But I don't think there is currently a way to open multiple "tabs" (but I'd be happy to be proven wrong).
