You could use logic like the following (from the default menu.jsp):
<menu:useMenuDisplayer name="Velocity" config="cssHorizontalMenu.vm"
permissions="rolesAdapter">
<ul id="primary-nav" class="menuList">
<li class="pad"> </li>
<c:if test="${empty pageContext.request.remoteUser}"><li><a href="<c:url
value="/login.jsp"/>" class="current"><fmt:message
key="login.title"/></a></li></c:if>
<menu:displayMenu name="MainMenu"/>
<menu:displayMenu name="UserMenu"/>
<menu:displayMenu name="AdminMenu"/>
<menu:displayMenu name="Logout"/>
</ul>
</menu:useMenuDisplayer>
Hope this helps,
Matt
