Sure.  Just handle the mouseDown:, mouseDragged:, and mouseUp: messages, 
adjusting the frame as appropriate.  NSWindow inherits from NSResponder.  See 
the discussion of these techniques in the documentation:

See Apple's RoundTransparentWindow sample code for an example.
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#samplecode/RoundTransparentWindow/

Also the FunkyOverlayWindow sample code:

Yes.  You've asked this repeatedly and been given the answer.  Create a 
borderless window with a transparent interior.  The same samples illustrate 
this, too.
