Yes, include a <Layout> element:

For example, for the main KDE menu you could add something like:

 <Layout>
  <Merge type="menus" />
  <Menuname>Development</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Editors</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Edutainment</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Games</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Graphics</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Internet</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Multimedia</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Office</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Science</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Settingsmenu</Menuname>
  <Menuname>System</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Toys</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Utilities</Menuname>
  <Menuname>WebMirror</Menuname>
  <Menuname>Applications</Menuname>
  <Merge type="files" />
  <Filename>kde-KControl.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>kde-Help.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>kde-Kfind.desktop</Filename>
  <Filename>kde-Home.desktop</Filename>
 </Layout>

The layout does not determine the content of the menu, only the order. The 
Merge points are used to add stuff that you didn't mention explicitly. The 
spec says that every <Layout> must have them.

Cheers,
Waldo
