I had a similar need recently and so I patched taxonomy_menu to list subcategories in addition to the matching nodes.
I'll try to find some time this weekend to work up a patch and put it up on the project page.
In the meantime, if you need something quickly, contact me off-list and I will send you the version I'm using now, which is only known to work against CVS from a week ago or so and has a couple of other changes in it.

Hi all,
I am a new user of Drupal and set it up on our church site: www.lambertikerk.nl (Zelhem, The Netherlands). I really like it, but I've got one question so far:
- Is it possible to view child categories on the page of a category?
E.g. when I have a taxonomy like:
Foo (4) ----foobar (2) ----fooquux (2)
and there are no postings in Foo itself, but in foobar and fooquux, the page "Foo" just says "There are no items in this category.".
I like it to say "There are on items in this category but we have 2 subcategories: foobar and fooquux," and display a short summary of both.
Also when there are postings inside "Foo", it would be nice if there was a way to have some block saying "See also" and show the child categories.
thanks, Wilbert
