Have you looked at using the  CardPortletController with the 
MenuControl? For an example, login as 'admin', and go to the security 
pane.
Another approach would be to use forwards (with the <forward> tag or 
$forward tool) to create a simple menu inside a portlet with links that 
select the appropriate pane.
This would give you more control over the design of your menu.
<end of answer>

Does anyone have any thoughts on a Menu Portlet or Site Map portlet, 
based on forward tags as the links?
I really haven't given it too much thought, but I like the idea of a 
Site Map that is automatically generated....
