There is a way, although it is a bit hacky. Or at least requires some 
typing :).

E supports xdg menu spec [1].

In that spec, menu is constructed using data from individual .desktop files 
under /usr/share/applications/. However, this process is controlled by 
definitions in a single menu file, residing in /etc/xdg/menus.

Which menu definition file to use, E asks you at first start. Remenber that 
debian-menu vs enlightenment-applications question?

You my not use any of these two, but write your own one.
It is in XML, and syntax allows you to include or exclude categories or 
individual menu items.

For example, mine has

<Exclude> <Filename>openmoko-panel-plugin.desktop</Filename> </Exclude>

line.
