Not that I know of, usually I add them manually, because there aren't that many this is manageable. I always link to the internal path, such as /taxonomy/term/1 and Drupal takes care of using the alias.

There is a function (see the API) called taxonomy_get_terms_by_vocabulary () that you can use by passing the vocabulary ID to it and it will tell you the terms selected for a given node. If you however just want to list all the terms all the time and use them as a menu system, you can create a VIEW and make it create a block that you can embed in a region and use as the menu. As such:

- Create a VIEW listing all the taxonomy terms with each term formatted as a link
- Filter by vocabulary or create an argument to enable you to filter on the fly
- Export the VIEW as a block
- Position the block where you want the menu
- Use CSS/Views theming to fine-tune how you want the menu to look

The VIEW approach has more flexibility than regular menus being that you can filter, rearrange and share items between multiple menus

I think if you're taking this approach its worth looking at http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_menu or use taxonomy_get_tree without the overhead of views or a block.
