I'm sure most of us here like doing thing as efficiently as possible and therefore we're a bunch of keyboard junkies.
With a file (or group of files) highlighted, is there a way to open the context menu (equivalent of right-click) with the keyboard?

I've written a lengthy explanation of how to clean up a messy context menu, using either the registry editor:
If you want to clean things up the truly geeky way, you can open up regedit.exe through the start menu search or run box, and then browse down to one of the following keys…
Most of the menu items that used for all files and folders can be found by looking at one of these keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\AllFileSystemObjects\ShellExItems that are specific to folders can usually be found in one of these keys instead:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shellex\ContextMenuHandlers

Or use some freeware NirSoft tools like ShellMenuView or ShellExView.
I don't know if there is a solution build into Windows. A workaround you could use is install AutoHotKey and create your own shortcut for that action.

Short answer: no.
Most items in the Finder’s context menu are already accessible via the menu bar & any thing in the menu bar is fair game for a custom keyboard shortcut in System Preferences (System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts > Application Shortcuts). You can assign keyboard shortcuts for most apps (Firefox excluded) in that panel and that includes the Finder. If it doesn’t immediately take effect, just relaunch the Finder.
