Split power planes are simply copper pours in the PWR layer. In the layout go to the layers spreadsheet. If everything is set to defaults, the PWR layer should be set to PLANE. Change it to ROUTING. Draw copper pours in PWR and assign desired power nets to them.

Also, I'd like to invite you to mirror your question in this group: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/OrCADexchange, which is dedicated to OrCAD. Or you could search the archives there. I think, somebody was asking about the split planes in the past.
