If you need add class to top.links block use layouts like

<referenceBlock name="top.links">
  <arguments>
       <argument name="css_class" xsi:type="string">my-class</argument>
  </arguments>
</referenceBlock>

if you need add new link to top.links use layout like

    <referenceBlock name="top.links">
        <block class="\Magento\Framework\View\Element\Html\Link" name="top-link-myaccount">
            <arguments>
                <argument name="label" xsi:type="string">My Account</argument>
                <argument name="href" xsi:type="url">customer/getAccountUrl</argument>
                <argument name="class" xsi:type="string">top-link-myaccount</argument>
            </arguments>
        </block>
    </referenceBlock>

I would like to add my option as opposed to benmarks' answer.

My approach is to use the append action:

    <block type="core/template" name="my_block" template="my/block.phtml" />
    <reference name="head">
        <action method="append" ifconfig="myblock/general/enabled"><block>my_block</block></action>
    </reference>

The second piece of code actually works but it does not display anything because there are no links attached to the block.
page/template/links.phtml starts with this:

<?php $_links = $this->getLinks(); ?>
<?php if(count($_links)>0): ?>

If there are no links there is nothing to display. You need to add links to your block. Something like this:

$block = Mage::app()->getLayout()->createBlock('page/template_links');
$title = $label = Mage::helper('customer')->__('My Account');
$url = Mage::helper('customer')->getAccountUrl();
$prepareUrl = false;
$urlParams = array();
$position = 10;
$liParams=null;
$aParams=null;
$beforeText=''; 
$afterText='';
$block->addLink($label, $url, $title, $prepareUrl, $urlParams, $position, $liParams, $aParams, $beforeText, $afterText);
//add more links here
echo $block->setTemplate('page/template/links.phtml')->toHtml();

Not all parameters are mandatory for the addLink method. I just added them here so you can see all the possibilities. For more info take a look at this method: Mage_Page_Block_Template_Links::addLink().
