I added this function to pbbuttonsd beta. You should be able to set
the fnmode as usual with the config option KBDMode = fkeysfirst /
fkeyslast.

Because the option pb_fnmode could be set to "disabled", I added this
mode as well: "KBDMode = disabled". On machines with ADB keyboard the
option "disabled" is not possible and will be forced to "fkeyslast".

The beta version is available at:
    ftp://ftp.berlios.de/pub/pbbuttons/pbbuttonsd-0.7.3-6g.tar.gz

It would be nice if you could test this feature and tell me the results.

 Best Regards
   Matthias
