Using MOSS 2007 this will be very difficult since it does not expose a robust client object model like SharePoint 2010 does. You would at the very least need to make webservice calls from the JavaScript to determine the status of the item, however you won't be able to hook into the ECB display call to update the menu before display.

A better approach may be to create a custom action with a control class to query the status from server code and display the menu appropriately.

Calling a webservice and JavaScript have nothing to do with SharePoint. As I stated the proper way to do this would be to create a custom action with a control class. Is there a reason you must do this in JavaScript?
