I have something like this shamelessly copied from Bernt's doc.

(setq org-tag-alist (quote ((:startgroup)
                            ("@errand" . ?e)
                            ("@office" . ?o)
                            ("@home" . ?h)
                            (:endgroup)
                            ("PHONE" . ?p)
                            ("NEXT" . ?n)
                            ("WAITING" . ?w)
                            ("HOME" . ?H)
                            ("ORG" . ?O))))
