Yes templates would be the best approach. Add a line into 
phpwiki/themes/default/templates/top.tmpl to call your menu template:

diff -U2 -r1.25 top.tmpl
--- top.tmpl    5 Mar 2003 21:38:15 -0000       1.25
+++ top.tmpl    17 Dec 2003 20:09:13 -0000
@@ -14,4 +14,5 @@
 <!-- The top navigation/search bar -->
 <div class="toolbar"><?= Template('navbar') ?></div>
+<div class="toolbar"><?= Template('menu') ?></div>
 <?php } ?>


Then create a new file menu.tmpl, put your html and php in there, 
something like this:

<?php // -*-html-*-
  $s = $Theme->getButtonSeparator();
?>
<!-- The menu bar -->
  <?= WikiLink(_("RecentEdits"), "button") ?>
  <?=$s?><?= WikiLink(_("MyPage"), "button") ?>
  <?=$s?><?= WikiLink(_("AnotherPage"), "button") ?>
<!-- End menu bar -->
