Sure there is a way to do it, especially easy for hiding from 'non-logged
in' individuals.. ;-) Just override the block template and put that menu
item(s) inside a simple user api check, something like this:

<xar:if condition="xarUserIsLoggedIn()">
    <xar:comment>good logged-In user deserves to see this item</xar:comment>
    <a href="my_precious_menuitem.php">Take This, Say Thankyou Banzai</a>
</xar:if>


Or with a clue

<xar:if condition="xarUserIsLoggedIn()">
    <xar:comment>good logged-In user deserves to see this item</xar:comment>
    <a href="my_precious_menuitem.php">Take This, Say Thankyou Banzai</a>
<xar:else />
    <xar:comment>bad lazy user deserves to see this</xar:comment>
    <a href="login.php">Login to see this item - It's HOT!</a>
</xar:if>

Hope it helps
