It is indeed, but I didn't realise that the Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer aren't applications, I noticed that the links suppled by Remo started with "file:" and ended with ".app", but if you read them in their entirety you can see that they're linking to apps. inside the Character Palette and Keyboard Viewer packages. I just selected 'Show Package Contents' (Control-click) on KeyboardViewer.component to get to KeyboardViewer.component>Contents>SharedSupport>KeyboardViewerServer.app' and then made a copy of this app to my Utilities folder. I can open it via Quicksilver and it seems to work exactly the same as selecting it from the Keyboard menu.
