There are two things you can do:

1. In your menu manager, open menu item, then select Metadata tab and change option of Robots field. This won't add rel=nofollow tag to your link, but destination page will have meta tag nofollow.

2. If you REALLY want to add rel=nofollow, create your menu output template override by:

2.1 Create (if it doesn't exists) templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/mod_menu folder (if folder exists - go to step 2.3)

2.2 Copy ALL files from modules/mod_menu/tmpl to your folder templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/mod_menu

2.3 Open files default_component.php, default_url.php, and override link by adding rel="nofollow" where tags are built.

Hope it helps ;)
