It depends on the client, but if you are using the native vpn client in mac os/x, there's advanced settings you can look at.
There's always a way, even if it involves running a vm and running the vpn client in the vm, exporting it's network (vpn) connection to the other OS, and using a proxy.pac file (in settings/network/advanced/proxies/automatic proxy configuration) in the other OS. (the "other OS" is the one in which you want to direct the traffic, so perhaps the "main" one.) Lots of info on how to write your own simple proxy.pac on the internet. It's very easy to create one that directs anything to yourcompany.com to the vpn connection and everything else to the Direct connection.
