At the moment I believe there is no way -- only canvases can have
scrollbars.  I have in the past tried ways to "fake it" by overlaying
a pane and a canvas and tying their movement together manually, but I
never worked it out with any great success.  If someone can work it
out, it would be a great planet package.
