Just look at the default navbar template and see how it's done. Basically two parts - the link in the "nav buttons bar" section which calls the vbmenu_register javascript, something like

			<if condition="$show['my_link_mod']">
				<td id="my_link_mod" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="$show[nojs_link]#my_link_mod">$vbphrase[my_links]</a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("my_link_mod"); </script></td>		
			</if>

then the 'div' with the actual menu items (as a table) in it in the "NAVBAR POPUP MENUS" section:

	<if condition="$show['my_link_mod']">
	<!-- user cp tools menu -->
	<div class="vbmenu_popup" id="my_link_mod_menu" style="display:none">
		<table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1" border="0">
		<tr><td class="thead">$vbphrase[my_links]</td></tr>		
                $my_links
		</table>
	</div>
	<!-- / my link mod -->
	</if>

Obviously you'd have to generate the actual table content ($my_links) on the fly in your mod. Each link would be of the form:

		<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="link_url">link text</a></td></tr>
