Better declare them in a prototyped fashion:

        int (*fp)(void)[];

Don't forget to pull out each entry from progmem.  It's probably best
to copy over an entire struct menu item at a time using memcpy_P(),
as opposed to copy in each of the struct elements individually.

Basically yes (I think), but *p needs to be in RAM already.
