There are many different ways to answer this question I think.
If the differences are limited to menus, you can use a single keymap and
rely on things like :filter, :enable, ... to dynamically adapt the
menu's content to the buffer's state.

Otherwise, you can simply use-local-map with a different map in each
buffer (I'd expect those maps to share a common ancestor, of course).
