The app at my last job was pretty complex and had a couple different modes, so two commands could share the same key equiv and never conflict. I basically kept a list of OSType commands, which mode the command was good for (e.g. object mode or text mode), and the key equiv. The equivs got installed at app init time, every time the mode switched, and after editing the equivs. It's actually a pretty simple mechanism to do.
