not sure i understand correctly, but setting the actionset in question to  
visible=false and adding it as perspectiveExtension to your desired  
perspective  in plugin.xml should do the trick:

<extension
         point="org.eclipse.ui.perspectiveExtensions">
      <perspectiveExtension targetID="NJVPlugin.shortPerspective"><---the  
id of the perspective you wish to have the menu visible
         <actionSet id="NJVPlugin.actionTestSet"/>
      </perspectiveExtension>
</extension>
...
the menu that should appear or not depending of the perspective:
<actionSet
            id="NJVPlugin.actionTestSet"
            label="testset"
            visible="false">
         <menu
               id="NJVPlugin.testMenu"
               label="TestMenu"/>
         <action
               class="TestActionPopup"
               id="NJVPlugin.actionTest"
               label="TestAction"
               menubarPath="NJVPlugin.testMenu/actionTest"
               style="push"/>
</actionSet>
