It's a coincidence. The numbers have no particular voodoo meaning, different signals were assigned numbers purely arbitrarily as they were invented. Not all the same numbers everywhere either; -9 is a very old signal (and probably defined as KILL in some standard or other now) but many others aren't so strictly defined, and may vary between different UNIX implementations. Some don't have USR1 for instance.
On my system at least you can see a fairly comprehensive list of signals in 'man kill'.
