I think that 'xmodmap' provides that functionality.

Also looking at the output of 'man -k keyboard' revealed that 'loadkeys' might 
be useful.

That's just from a quick search, for some reason my keyboards are not in need of remapping,
so I don't have any first hand experience with either approach.

Good luck.
