Yeah, you can do this, but unfortunately there is no UI to support this
yet [probably a nice little project for GNOME 2.4 though].

You need to look at the gconf keys -

        /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_[n]

        /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_[n]


ie. setting

/apps/metacity_global_keybindings/run_command_1 to <Control><Alt>N

and 

/apps/metacity/keybinding_commands/command_1 to mozilla.


Sun did a patch to add a UI for this in Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, which
you can find in sun-patches/gnome-control-center somewhere.


                Hope this helps,

                        Glynn ;)
