Do you mean that, or do you mean you have a USB keyboard? If your
keyboard really is plugged into a real serial port ("my only console
is a dumb terminal") I don't think X will love you at all. Otherwise,
Google ("usb keyboard xfree86") suggests that USB keyboards should, in
general, Just Work under X.
