Well, basically you can use any time signature with any tempo, so if that's the tempo and the meter, you're OK.
To split a measure of 9/4 into two notes each would have to have 4 1/2 beats. You could score that as a whole note tied to an eigth, and then the next as an 8th tied to another whole note. The two eigth notes can be joined with a beam...that seems to be the most logical way to write that rhythm out.
Hope this helps!

I was thinking a little about this and it reminded me about a discussion I had with some Lilypond programmers about "5/9" time. It prompted me to actually write a simple piece in that admittedly strange time signature and my conclusion was that it could have been done just as effectively using tuplets and tempo changes. (It was wild that Lilypond understood and created manuscript and midi files for that type of work very easily).
So certainly "semantic" time changes (i.e notating the 9/4 as 3/2 with an equivalence tempo making) are less extreme than altering the tempo within measure or saying that you have a measure that is slightly slower than the preceeding an following and having the entire measure be 7 eigth note septuplets...we tend to "feel" those rhythms more than deduce them like something simple comprised of some eigth notes and sixteenth notes will a bit of syncopation.
Just for filing under "you can do anything you want!" <Added>http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff5/tampa_edski/nine-fourexamples-1.jpg
