I had the need for a team site, but instead of the standard quick launch, I wanted more of a publishing like navigation setup. So I did the following:
1) Create a new Site Template. For reference I used:
http://www.toddbaginski.com/blog/archive/2009/11/02/how-to-create-a-custom-site-definition-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx.aspx
I copied the STS site template onet.xml file, and then created a new template in my webtemp_custom.xml file.
2) Next add the Navigation Feature under WebFeatures in your onet.xml file:
<!-- NavigationProperties Feature-->
<Feature ID="541F5F57-C847-4e16-B59A-B31E90E6F9EA">
<Properties xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
<Property Key="InheritGlobalNavigation" Value="true"/>
<Property Key="ShowSiblings" Value="true"/>
<Property Key="IncludeSubSites" Value="true"/>
</Properties>
</Feature>
When you create a new site, you'll see that you have Navigation link in your Site Settings that you can now configure, just like a Publishing Site!
