(defun reload-dot-emacs ()
  "Reload the .emacs file."
  (interactive)
  (load "~/.emacs"))

(global-set-key ... 'reload-dot-emacs)

There are possible improvements that could be made; for instance, if the
.emacs file is currently in a buffer, and it's not saved out, the command
could ask whether to save it first.
