The following is for version 6:

There is the Option WindowStatusArea for Notebooks, which you can use in 
many ways, among them as in the following code:

SetOptions[EvaluationNotebook[],
  WindowStatusArea -> "Please be patient..."]

On the other hand, you might want to look at the documentation for

ProgressIndicator

which looks like it could be made exactly for what you are trying to do...

hth,
