Pierre Igot figured out how to modify Internet Explorer's menu shortcut keys, and wrote up a how-to in this thread on the MacFixIt forums.
Pierre's method involves modifying the Localized.rsrc file, which consists of binary data used by the application. Note that his method can be expanded to modify nearly any application by doing the same thing - editing the Localized.rsrc file for the application in question. Be careful, however, as these are binary files. They look like gibberish (for the most part) in your editor, and if you change the length of the file, it may not run when you're done. Work on a copy of the application, just to be safe!
If you'd like to modify IE's menu shortcuts, head over to MacFixIt for the scoop!
