I know you say "non-negotiable", but I'm going to discuss it anyway, because there are some facts you may not be aware of. First fact: Cocoa does not support nibless applications, period, full stop. It's possible to create them with some hacking around and using private methods, but it is not *supported*. Any such app which you may finally get working could potentially break at any moment, due to an OS upgrade or simply due to running on a different computer. Second fact: any GUI application can load a nib, even yours. Loading a nib doesn't mean you can't set things up in code. Loading a nib doesn't mean you need to bundle a file inside your .app (although it makes it easier!) and it doesn't mean you have to give up control. You'll have a much easier time of it if you do what a normal Cocoa app does and load a regular MainMenu.nib. This doesn't have to load a full menu bar, it can just be a stub if you want, and you can then fill it out with code. The end result will be the same, except it will be supported and will presumably actually work.
