I think you could do something roundabout like calling
gtk_widget_add_accelerator()
multiple times on one of your action's visible proxies (and yourself
ensuring that
the accel group <--> widget <--> window relationships are setup correctly).

Curiously, is there a specific reason/policy why GtkActions dont like to have
multiple accel keys defined ?
