I've got a user who wishes to share a OneNote notebook with other users. The one caveat is that he was different users to have access to different sections within the notebook (ie. User A gets access to one section 1, user B only to section 2, etc.). Is this possible, and how would I go about setting it up? The notebook will be shared with users on SharePoint 2010.

Setting-up different notebooks is indeed the preferred way. But OneNote will respect the permissions that are set on the server. Not the expert, but I believe Sharepoint 2010 allows file-level permissions although it is buried in the UI. On a network share, you want to allow deny read/deny write but you want to allow listing permissions. Not sure if Sharepoint can limit listing permissions but you want to make sure to not disallow listing sections (which means they will all show-up in the UI but some of them will be in error state for the users who do not have access.).
