Well if you're asking what to do at the Wordpress end, I can't offer
any specifics. But what I've done in the past for similar projects is
the following:

1. Create a page with a TS template like this:

# Create a page with nothing but the menu markup
#
# Disable ALL auto-generated TYPO3 markup:
config.disableAllHeaderCode = 1
# Unset any default PAGE object that may already exist:
page >
# Create a new page template:
page = PAGE
# Add your main navigation to this page:
page.10 < lib.main_navigation


2. Publish the resulting page as a static file using the Admin Panel
(you'll wind up with a page at a url something like
"fileadmin/publish/203.0.html" [you can configure the publish
directory in the install tool])


3. In Wordpress, you could then include and echo out the file's
contents using php.


Done this way, you'd have to re-publish the static page from step 2
whenever the main navigation changed, but with most sites, it's not
often necessary.
