I might be able to tell you how to set this up using xmodmap, but this
depends on how similar your Apple keyboard is to the "pc105" ones that I
know. For a start, I need to see the output of:
xmodmap -pk | grep '(g)\|ISO_Level3_Shift'
It can also not hurt if you post the keyboard part of your xorg.conf.
You can run
awk '/Section "InputDevice"/,/EndSection/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
to display all sections related to input devices.
