The "Button Madness" sample app demonstrates making buttons in both code and nibs. OSX, but easily ported.

You can actually do this. Although the whole paradigm that Apple's dev tools support promote doing it the visual way, in your case it might well make sense to create the control, place and position it in its superview, connect it to the controller's outlet, and set its action & target in code.
I've never needed to do this, so I can't give you complete step-by-step instructions, but I can give you a (possibly incomplete) guide to the methods you need:
--------------------------------------------------------------
myButton = [[[NSButton alloc] initWithFrame: ...] autorelease]
configure it, see the "Configuring Buttons" section of the NSButton Class Reference
[myButton setTarget: myController]
[myButton setAction: @selector(myActionMethod:)]
[[[myController window] contentView] addSubview: myButton]
myController->myButton = myButton
--------------------------------------------------------------
Note that you can use similar techniques to create a window and an instance of your controller and associate them, you'll want the "Creating Windows" section of the NSWindow Class Reference, and the initWithWindow: method of NSWindowController
