That's because it goes in /etc/menu..., and I'd suggest adding the
phrase local (tells menu "trust me, the program is installed"):

?package(local.myprog):\
	needs="x11"\
	section="Apps/Local"\
	title="Groovy Program"\
	command="/usr/local/myprog/bin/myprog"\
	icon="/usr/local/myprog/share/icon.xpm"

For each local "package" I create a separate file in /etc/menu with the
name of the program -- easy to find later on.
