If you are asking if there is some sort of "text" interface to Keyboard Maestro, no, there isn't.

However Keyboard Maestro itself is highly scriptable, including the ability to create or delete macros. For example, see:

Here is a macro that lets you create simple text expansion macros. Simply fill in the text of the action with lines like: trigger:text where trigger is the Typed String trigger you want and text is the text you want to expand to. Then select all the actions and click the Try button at the bottom to run them once and it will create a macro for each expansion. There is no trigger on the macro since its not going to be a macro you want to run except occasionally. Note that to create a new exp…

So you could, for example, have a text file with your mappings, and then you could have a macro that created the macros for those mappings (deleting any existing macros first presumably).
