Here is an example on how you can add dynamic links to the top menu: https://magento.stackexchange.com/a/18947/146.
In the example above the languages are added to the top links, but you can modify your block to include any language.
All you need to change is: Easylife_Locale_Block_Stores::addStoreLinks and make it look like this:

public function addStoreLinks() {
    $parentBlock = $this->getParentBlock();
    if ($parentBlock) {
        $position = 200; //start position
        $newsLinkPath = Mage::getStoreConfig('path/to/value_here');
        $newsLink = Mage::getUrl('', array('_direct'=>$newsLinkPath));
        $title = $this->__('News');
        $text = $title;
        $parentBlock->addLink($text, $newsLink, $title, false, array(), $position);
    }
    return $this;
}

Feel free to rename your method as you want just make sure you change its name in the layout file also.
