Here's what I have done:
;; toplevel, called from derive-mode form
(defun newlisp-menu ()
  "Create Newlisp Menu for emacs/XEmacs"
  (defvar newlisp-menu-var nil "Newlisp Menu Definition")
  (easy-menu-define
   newlisp-menu-var newlisp-keymap "Newlisp Mode Menu"
     '("Newlisp"
     ["Test" test-fun]))
  (easy-menu-add-item nil nil newlisp-menu-var))
;; Works on both forks.
;; Tried changing
  (easy-menu-add-item nil nil newlisp-menu-var)
  to:
  (easy-menu-add-item newlisp-menu-var)
  ;; worked on Xemacs not on gnu emacs
