I have a Mac Mini 2011 with Mac OS X X 10.7.5 and I want to power it on with a keyboard combination when it is off.

When the Mac is in sleep mode, you can just press a key or move the mouse to restore the OS X session, and you can not configure it from power management.

Is there a method for configuring sleep or powerup when it is off, or an external program?

When it's shut down. you cannot power on a Mac other than through the physical power button on the machine.

This used to be possible with the old Apple Desktop Bus connections, and for a time when Apple shipped a special USB implementation with a power pin, but it was removed with the Apple Pro Keyboard (model M7803) in 2000.
