What controller?

This should be doable through /bindloadfile
To do this, you will need to create some .txt files in your <COHInstallFolder>\data folder (often C:\Program Files\City of Heroes\data)
You will need to replace items in < > brackets with the correct values for your controller.
controller1.txt
<buttonnameright> "+$$bindloadfile controller2.txt"
<buttonname1> powexecname <power1>
<buttonname2> powexecname <power2>
<buttonname3> powexecname <power3>
controller2.txt
<buttonnameright> "+$$bindloadfile controller1.txt"
<buttonname1> powexecname <power1alt>
<buttonname2> powexecname <power2alt>
<buttonname3> powexecname <power3alt>
Then, in game, type /bindloadfile controller1.txt
After doing this, if the bind file is properly configured, pressing button 1 will activate <power1>, button 2 will activate <power2> and button 3 will activate <power3>. Holding down the right trigger will load controller2.txt, setting the three buttons to their alt powers. Releasing the right trigger will reload controller1.txt
Sometimes, hiccups (such as pressing and releasing the trigger quickly) may cause controller2.txt to be the "default". In these cases, it's suggested to have a reset bind or macro that runs /bindloadfile controller1.txt

Huh.

powexecname activates a specific named power - eg, "powexecname brawl" activates brawl. /bind b "powexecname brawl" binds the command "powexecname brawl" to the b key, so that every time b is pressed, brawl is activated (at least, until b is unbound/bound as something else)
To run through the powertray interface, there are other commands.
powexecslot <1-10> activates the power slotted in the corresponding number slot of the active tray. So if you have tray 1 selected on your bottom power tray, and slot 1 of tray 1 contains brawl, "powexecslot 1" will activate brawl. If you later replace brawl with sprint in slot 1, "powexecslot 1" will toggle sprint on or off instead. If you switch to tray 2, where you have combat jumping in slot 1, "powexecslot 1" would then toggle combat jumping on or off.
powexecaltslot <1-10> works like powexecslot, only it uses the corresponding slot number in the middle power tray (or top if you're only showing 2 power trays)
powexecalt2slot <1-10> works like powexecslot and powexecaltslot, only it uses the corresponding slot number in the top power tray when you are showing all 3 power trays (not counting the bonus trays)
powexectray <1-9> <1-10> activates a specified power on a specified tray - the first number is the tray number (the numbered 1-9 power trays), the second number is the slot number. The advantage of powexectray is that it sticks to the same tray even if you accidentally switch to another power tray on your UI.
Anyway, if you want to have buttons 1, 2 and 3 activate the respective powers in slots 1, 2 and 3 on tray 1, replace "powexecname" with "powexectray 1", followed by 1, 2 and 3 in the different lines
ie:
<button1> powexectray 1 1
<button2> powexectray 1 2
<button3> powexectray 1 3
A convenient list of slash commands for binds and macros can be found here

Huh.
Well being able to bind them to specific powers instead of tray slots is actually the better option.
Am I able to do that for every power in the game then?
Yes. Even Incarnate powers. Just preserve the spacing in the power name and you're good to go. (For example, "Healing Aura" works. "HealingAura" does not. "Healing Aura " (note trailing extra space) does not. etc.)
