I am not entirely sure but I think that if the URLs linked to by the drop down items are visible in the code then Google will follow them so it should not be a problem.

Generally drop down menus need javascript to make the drop down appear. If you turn javascript off, see how the page looks and thats (roughly) how the SE's will see your page. But as the previous poster stated, as long the links are in the code, then I dont see any reason why the SE's wouldn't be able to follow them.

engines are finding urls in javascript [webmasterworld.com].
in addition, it is possible to do dropdown menus without javascript [google.com] using css dropdowns [google.com].

Be aware also that drop down menus that links to all of a site's pages or categories, or to a significant volume of pages cause distortion of a site's hierarchy, and are related to what Ted called the mega menu problem [webmasterworld.com]. You don't necessarily want every link in the menu to be spidered.
