The hintchars variable determines which characters are used for hints. By default, it's set to 0123456789, but you can change it to whatever characters you like. Enter this:

:set hintchars=hjklasdfgyuiopqwertnmzxcvb

The characters are used in the defined order.

See this question on changing the hint's appereance: How to make Vimperator's numbered links bigger? (hints)

To make the settings permament, put the commands (without the colons) in your .vimperatorrc file, see :help initialization.
