Err, to tell you the truth, I also use the xkb extension to change my
keyboard to the dvorak mapping, but I don't know what the xkb equivalent is
for remapping specific keycodes (in my case I've remapped the windows keys
so that I can make these nifty germanic symbols, like ê and ë, which you
probably can't see in anycase).  It's just so easy with xmodmap... :)

Cheerio,
