you can set move tool in discrete mode and using it with the mmb on selected axis get desired effect.

for the channel box there're three icons at its top right corner, when switched in no manipulator node (by using the leftmost one) different steps and speeds for mmb dragging can be set with other two icons that become ungrayed.

afaik the thing you really searched for is not possible, discrete values in the channel box are set to .01, .1 and 1. channel box ui still lives in the decimal world.

though after looking in mel help there's a channelBox command for creating a custom channel box.

used with the example provided in there this gives the result you wanted:

window;
formLayout form;
channelBox -spd 5 -mnp "invisible" dave;
formLayout -e
-af dave "top" 0
-af dave "left" 0
-af dave "right" 0
-af dave "bottom" 0
form;
showWindow;

only thing to find out is if this command can be used with the default Channel Box

DUDE! You're DA MAN! :D

I tryed it out and played little biit arround, and with this command:
channelBox -e -spd 5 -mnp "invisible" mainChannelBox

you can manipulate the speed of the original channel box :) ..
