I think you should create a new menu in joomla then make aliases type of menu items, you should do this to make sure you don't get duplicate content issues. I think Alex answer is ok if you want to do it with code but its harder to maintain and for someone to understand who comes along. As it is a menu item it doesn't belong in a component or module in my opinion.
