Firstly meta keywords have absolutely no effect on SEO whatsoever.

However if you definitely want to do this you will need to do a small "core edit". In qa-page.php, look for this code around line 640:

if (!empty($qa_content['keywords']))
    $themeclass->output('<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="'.$qa_content['keywords'].'"/>');
// as far as I know, META keywords have zero effect on search rankings or listings

Change it to this:

if (!empty($qa_content['keywords']))
    $themeclass->output('<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="'.$qa_content['keywords'].'"/>');
else
    $themeclass->output('<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="your keywords here"/>');

Hope that helps!

the new code should be changed in:

if (strlen(@$this->content['keywords']))
    $this->output('<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="'.$this->content['keywords'].'"/>');
else
    $this->output('<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="YOUR KEYWORDS"/>');

Actually this should be possible in a custom theme now, because I believe all the HTML in the <head> section is in the theme class, not in the core. This means it will survive Q2A upgrades and not get overwritten.
Remember though, meta keywords have absolutely no effect on SEO whatsoever.

Just add a function to your custom theme:

        function head_metas()
        {
            if (!strlen(@$this->content['description'])) $this->output('<META name="description" content="your description here">');
            if (!strlen(@$this->content['keywords'])) $this->output('<META name="keywords" content="your,keywords,here">');
            qa_html_theme_base::head_metas();
        }
