    Is there a clean way to add items to the context menus like that?

I dont have my Visor right here so I cannot test this. But something
along the following might work if you put it on the scripts folder.

---- script "Upload to Pilot" ------
#!/bin/sh

pilot-xfer -p /dev/pilot -install $*

---- end ----

Other actions could be implemented in a similar way. Or one could play
cool and hack fancy dialogs with gnome-perl for this :^)

NOTE: THIS IS NOT TESTED, because my Visor is downstairs and I am about
to go to sleep anyway :-) But it probably works that way. You can make
that command run on an xterm too so you see if it works.
