I ran into this same problem, and could find no really "clean" solution.
I have a submenu that tracks the contents of a special folder.
I ended up with a repeating timer whose target routine checks to see if the
menu needs updating every few seconds, and if it does, it updates it. This
actually has some UI benefit, because the routine to rebuild the submenu
doesn't run while the user is waiting for the submenu to appear.
You could use the menu-validating system to tell you when a menu is about
to be displayed, but I would be careful to avoid introducing delays into
the menu-display process. It makes your app feel unresponsive and slow.

I would like to rebuild a menu (NSMenu) just before it is pulled down. Is
there a way to do this in Cocoa?
I searched the archives and could not find anything on this.
Thanks,
Manoj Patwardhan
