It's possible to do this with Carbon APIs, in 10.2 and later. Basically you just create an insert a menu into the menubar as usual, but you also set the Hidden attribute on the menu, so the menu doesn't show up in the menubar. (There's a bug in 10.2 that allows the menu to be displayed if you're keyboard-navigating the menubar; that's fixed in Panther).

I don't believe NSMenu currently exports the Hidden menu attribute via a method, so you probably can't do this entirely in Cocoa.

For the curious, I filed bug report #3333365 (what a number) asking for hidden NSMenus...
