Ubuntu automagically translate ACPI events into Xkeyboard events, and produce an x event each time a system button is pressed. If you are using ubuntu just use xev to determine what is the x key that corresponds to the power button and bind it to the system dialog. If you are using a different distribution then I don't know :(
