Anything that is done in TYPO3 can be mimicked with a userfunction, 
since they're both PHP. However because several things are hardcoded in 
the functions used to create an HMENU you'll basically have to rewrite 
the whole thing.

I probably will solve it with a userfunction though, since I don't 
really need complete flexibility right now and don't have the time to do 
it differently.
