Put this into a button's contents and set the style of the button to Option:

Item 1
Item 2
<tab>SubItem 2.1
<tab>SubItem 2.2
<tab><tab>Sub-Subitem 2.2.1
<tab><tab>Sub-Subitem 2.2.2
<tab>SubItem 2.3
Item 3


Note: "<tab>" denotes a tab character.

Also, keep in mind this caveat from Apple's Aqua HIG (the sentiment is also
expressd in the Win HIG):

  Be very cautious about creating a pop-up menu with
  submenus.  Doing so hides choices too deeply and
  is physically difficult to use.
