With the new iOS release, you now have the ability to pair your Apple Keyboard to your Apple TV. Therefore, you can control everything on it. Learning a new remote, as well!

Just connect yor device to your Mac/PC with iTunes and upgrade it to software 5.2. Have fun!

You still need the Apple remote to set up the keyboard.

No you don't need the apple remote to connect your keyboard via Bluetooth. When you plug in the Apple TV, the first screen is the languages list screen and on top of this languages list is mentioned the Bluetooth control thing, you just turn on your Bluetooth keyboard and done, you now can select your language, then set up the whole thing just with a keyboard if you want.

Let me be clear for you again.YOU DON'T NEED THE APPLE REMOTE TO CONNECT YOUR KEYBOARD VIA BLUETOOTH.
