Thanks to az2a on IRC and some reading of the code, lead to this solution:


             map.events.register('moveend', map, function() {
                 map2.setCenter(this.getExtent().getCenterLonLat(),
                     this.getZoomForResolution(map.getResolution()));
             });
             map.events.register('zoomend', map, function() {
                 map2.setCenter(this.getExtent().getCenterLonLat(),
                     this.getZoomForResolution(map.getResolution()));
             });

I created map and map2 objects, with map having all the nav controls and 
map2 being a slave that is synced to map.
