Normally you just need to do this:

myElement = document.createElement("someXULtagName");
myElement.setAttribute("tooltiptext","My tooltip text");

But inside panels (at least non-SDK ones) you have to do more work if you are including HTML elements instead of XUL elements:

myPanelview = document.createElement('panelview');
myPanelview.setAttribute('tooltip', 'aHTMLTooltip');
...
myElement = document.createElementNS('http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml', "someHTMLtagName");
myElement.setAttribute("title","My tooltip text");
