There are many ways to do it for sure. But the OpenLayers way would be to use Control.Panel, configure it with the div that you want it to be rendered in (i.e. some container outside the map), and use OpenLayers.Control.Button for your custom controls. Look at the [1] example to see which css classes you need to give your custom controls the icons you want, and [2] to see how to place it outside the map. Regards, Andreas.
