I'm afraid I don't understand what an 'outlandish' keyboard is.

I haven't messed around with AltGr, but everything that I used to do
with xmodmap in XFree86 3.3.x still works in XFree86 4.x.
 
Can you give an example of what have you tried doing with xmodmap that
no longer works?

If I understand you correctly, you want a certain keypress to generate
a certain keysym.  If this is true, it has nothing to do with
ratpoison commands and I think it involves your keyboard and your X
server.
