I don't think you can do that with a standard popup button, since 
buttons only accept one shortcut that applies to the whole button (and 
not all button styles support modifier and accelerator keys anyway.) 
What you'd need to do instead, I think, is create a menu stack 
containing a pulldown button for each item, and then assign an 
accelerator and modifier to each button. Finally, assign the stack to 
the "master" button as its menu by setting the menuname (you can do that 
in the button's property inspector.)
