Do it with client-side Javascript.  Use an HTML <map> to define your
trigger point(s) and point the OnMouseOver event to Javascript functions
which draw your menus to the screen.  The following sites offer free
Javascript code examples that you can probably modify to meet your
needs.

However the easiest way that I've seen to create menus is with
Macromedia Fireworks.  Not only is it a capable image creator/editor,
but it includes a feature for VERY easily creating lightweight all-text,
or heavier image-based, menus with rollover effects, submenus and other
features.  To create an all-text menu the user defines the hotspots that
will trigger menus, and then simply fills out forms to define the text
for menu selections and the colors and behaviors.  When the details are
filled in, Fireworks generates ALL the HTML and Javascript required.  In
a couple of quick steps, you paste it into your code and you've got a
fully working menu system.
 
I used it a while ago to create a nav system for a site with six
drop-down menus, each averaging 6-8 menu items, several of them having
submenus with 6-8 items each.  The entire process from cocktail napkin
to working menu system took less than 20 minutes.  I highly recommend
it, and no, I'm not an employee.
