I think the easy way would be to use two NSSliders side by side or one
above the other. If you need it to look like it's all one slider you
could subclass NSSliderCell and draw the bar without an end cap.

That won't allow the user to pull the knob of one slider over the other
but if you don't want/need that then I think this is the way to go.
