I added this to monobook.php for creating additional sidebar-blocks:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Navigation_bar#Customizing_monobook.php
+ <div class="portlet" id="p-navn">
+ <h5><?php $this->msg('navigation') ?></h5>
+ <div class="pBody">
+ <?php $this->msgWiki( 'AnotherMenu' ) ?>
+ </div>
+ </div>
Are there any CONs against this?
Imho the solution above is able to use more complicated
sidebar-construction than MediaWiki:Sidebar doas
