Yes it is in:

http://svn.unioncms.org/repos/ucms/uccore/trunk/core/menu.py
the (meta)configuration is flowing around in
http://svn.unioncms.org/repos/ucms/uccore/trunk/core/metadirectives.py
http://svn.unioncms.org/repos/ucms/uccore/trunk/meta.zcml
. If you're interested, we can operate it out together :-)

Sample usage is in ZCML:

<browser:menu
      id="pageactions"
      interface=".appcontrol.IPageActions"
      title="Menu for displaying local actions for the user" />

<browser:menuItem
      menu="pageactions"
      for="Products.uccore.ctypes.interfaces.ucfolder.IUCFolder"
      title="Edit"
      action="composer" />

<browser:menuItem
      menu="pageactions"
      for="Products.uccore.ctypes.interfaces.ucpage.IUCPage"
      title="Contents"
      action="contents" />

And then:

from Products.uccore.core.menu import getMenu
actionmenu = getMenu(IPageActions, obj.context, obj.request)

This is a list of dicts then but I think this is like X3.

I did not test submenus yet.
