Actually, I've just discovered that there is a keyboard-access-to-menus
method, but it's not enabled by default, and it isn't very good either.
In Keyboard Preferences, enable "Turn on full keyboard access". Then,
Ctrl+F2 will transfer focus to the menu, and you can navigate around
with the cursor keys.
It still doesn't respond to other keys (i.e. there's no equivalent to
the underlined characters in Windows menus) but it's better than
nothing.
