KeyBindingsEditor is a GUI-based editor for OS X key bindings. It allows for easy editing and supports single-action bindings (one action per keystroke), multi-action bindings (multiple actions for a keystroke) and Emacs meta binding-style multi-keystroke bindings.

KeyBindingsEditor, a nice donationware utility written several years ago for OS X 10.4, seems to work fine in 10.5 as well. It’s basically a special purpose property list (.plist) editor, with one particular feature I find quite handy: it can export a keybindings file as nicely rendered html, ready to print. Great for making cheatsheets of all your personalized bindings in Xcode. Note that KeyBindingsEditor won’t open .pbxkeys files directly, but handles them just fine if the suffix is changed temporarily to .dict.

You can download it here, and peruse the online docs here.
