It looks like this, to keep things simple.
make a file called parens.el

;;; --*-- emacs-lisp::parens.el --*--
;;;
;;; Change Keyboard-setting to lispy values"
;;; Interchange the [ ] keys with ( )

 (keyboard-translate ?\[ ?\()
 (keyboard-translate ?\) ?\])
 (keyboard-translate ?\] ?\))
 (keyboard-translate ?\( ?\[) 

Then you put in your .emacs : (load-file "parens.el")

Now it wil be loaded each time you start emacs, 
or do M-x load-file RET parens.el when you need it if you do not
auto-load it.

Now you will not have to do SHIFT-9 or SHIFT-0 to get ( and ).
which are now put under to the [ ] keys.
