Put an oscilloscope on the output of the receiver. Press a key, see what comes out. Press a different key, see what comes out. It won't take more than a couple of hours to work out the encoding.
Many IR wireless keyboards are IrDA SIR devices, where the link ends up looking mostly like a conventional serial ports to the two ends. The IrDA association web site (ww.irda.org) has links to standards and all that sort of stuff.
