Using the Interface Builder, is it possible to connect a button with an
arrow key?

I don't know.

If that isn't possible, can I add some code into my cocoa
app which will then call the same functions as the associated arrow
buttons?

Look at overriding keyDown: in your NSResponder subclass (an NSView subclass, perhaps, or an NSWindow subclass) and checking for NSUpArrowFunctionKey and the other three. Should be quite straightforward. NSResponder is pretty well documented; look at how the responder chain works for key events, and look at NSEvent's documentation for how to get the character typed, the modifier keys, etc.
Good luck.
