This is a bit of a hack, but you could create a custom menu item that fired an Undo to Xcode via AppleEvents and assign it a command key combination of Command+/. I have no idea what the performance for something like will be like.

(I won't even ask why you'd want to do this in the first place...)

Shean, you're half right. You can assign multiple key combinations to any text editing action (Text Key Binding), but you can only assign one key combination to a menu command (Menu Key Binding). This is, I'm sure, because the menu key bindings use the Cocoa menu framework which only permits a one-to-one correspondence between menu items and keyboard shortcuts.
