Not true - the system's WiFi menu updates while it is open.

Perhaps you need to use a view-based menu item to achieve this? You can use NSMenuItem's -setView: method to attach a view to the item, then (I assume, I haven't done it myself) you can use the usual -setNeedsDisplay on that view to update it as necessary.
