I dont think we had to use elevated privilages - since each user has site collection administrator privilages to their personal site (usually), but it might have been the case.
Again - it has been a while (and I don't have the code on me) but I think the master page is hosted by one site - the mysite host, and so we just deployed two master pages - one that overrides the built-in one (that all existing sites and new sites use) and a custom one. The override had the control that activated the feature, and the custom one didn't. It was a bit more complex than that (since we had to do a lot more customisations than just the navigation) but the general architecture is therre... I might be able to dig out the code later...but if you are not an expirienced developer I'd recommend against playing with it - if you have not developed a feature before - get someone who has to help you - don't make one the first one...
