You could use the image option to make a button image, or change the 
background color to differentiate it.

But otherwise, not really.  You would have to manage your own menubar 
(by making a frame w/ buttons and menubuttons, etc.  But that won't 
have the advantages of using the Tk Menu (ie. it'll stick out like a 
sore thumb on Macs, among other things).

But, I'll defer to Jeff Epler <jepler at unpythonic.net>, in his post, and 
say that probably none of this really makes sense.  You could make a 
button that isn't in the menu bar to quit (as I do in some 
applications), or capture the window manager close window event to 
clean up when the system provided window close is clicked on, etc.  And 
just make "Quit" a real menu item (under File, say).
