The easiest way to handle this is to turn on the horizontal scroll bar. However, most OS X apps seem to include a horizontal scroll bar only when needed, and do indeed keep the vertical scroll bar above the resize box while fields can stretch to the bottom of the window. This is true of Mail, TextEdit, Mellel, and probably others.
Perhaps the ability to handle this automatically should be submitted as a feature request (the alwaysExcludeResizeBoxAreaFromScrollBars of field "Field")?

I have a stack in which I want a field to reach all the way to the bottom of the window. This field is to contain text which will usually more than fill the field, so I need a scrollbar. The stack needs to be resizable, so when the field reaches to the bottom, the resize box of the window covers the down arrow at the bottom of the fields scrollbar.
Ken already gave a work-around, but I just thought I'd add that the most common interface for this sort of thing is to place the bottom of the scrolling field 16 pixels up from the bottom of the card, so that the bottom right of the field just touches the top-left of the resize box. There is a small strip of unused card at the bottom, but I think you'll find that almost all apps do it this way (the area is often used for a horizontal scrollbar.) This is by far the easiest way to manage things, unless there is some specific reason you absolutely need the field to end at the actual bottom of the card. You could look at BBEdit for an example.
