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...
