In Aeon MQ6 there is a custom system menu (S key) skin. Could I make a similar menu and have it show whenever someone presses context menu (C key) rather than the default context menu? I basically want to have the same look as the default context menu, but have items hidden if kiosk mode is on.

nope, it's not possible to alter/replace the context menu.

Right, but could I map a button via the skin that when pressed brings up my modified menu?

Yes, that's exactly what I do in my Super Favourites addon (button mapping is done via a keymap file)

Yeah, I know about keymapping. I'm asking if it is possible to load a menu when say the Z key is pressed, regardless of keymapping. I want it to be SKIN specific.....if it's possible that is.

You can modified the DialogContextMenu.xml to show customized buttons and even hide default one on condition met.

Yes, you still need a key mapping though.

Have the Z key run a script, in the script check if the current skin is the correct one, if so open ur custom menu.

Since keymapping support single command only you may have to use a script for that.
I can add a special mode for that in script.featherence.service

So you should keymapping to:
RunScript(script.featherence.service,,?mode=52&value=<action>&value2=<action>

In the skin you should edit the ContextMenu xml to show custom buttons when say:
!IsEmpty(Window(home).Property(Custom_ContextMenu))
