Heh.  I was wondering about that, but the USB keyboard that I have
does not include a power-on key...

My mac was not responding to anything on the keyboard, and attempts to
ssh into the box were timing out, so I held down the power button on
the back of the Mac-mini for a few (10?) seconds.  That successfully
powered it down, and then I powered it back up.
