We are working on natively supporting this in gedit 3.0 which should be 
finished somewhere next year. You can follow the work in the multiview 
branch if you want, but at the moment it is probably not very usable.

I think there might be a plugin out somewhere that implements split 
view, but I don't know how good it is, or how well maintained. Other 
than that, you can always drag one tab out of the window to create a new 
window to kind of create the split window idea (at least you can view 
two different files at the same time).
