Ah, I misunderstood, in that case use "wm.context_menu_enum"

import bpy
km = bpy.context.window_manager.keyconfigs.default.keymaps["3D View"]
kmi = km.keymap_items.new("wm.context_menu_enum", 'O', 'PRESS', oskey=True)
kmi.properties.data_path = "tool_settings.proportional_edit_falloff"

At the moment you can't do that but of course it could be made to work.
