These are two problems - one conceptual, but the other one an easily solvable technical one.

It wouldn't be tricky to add a second header line (displayed just above the header line) for the purposes of tabbar?
This assumes that tabbar-mode wants to operate on the window level (rather than per-frame), to display a subset of the available buffers for people to switch to in that window.  Native widgets for tabs would be the next logical step, but that would require a lot of implementation work for the different toolkits.

The per-frame implementation is very interesting, too, because it would store window configurations.  But that's far away from the current tabbar implementation.
