Yes; the way to do this is by calling XtSetValues on the
XtNtranslations resource.

Shouldn't be too hard.  We have done something similar for
the R4 version of xmh.

No not directly; it's an internal Xt structure.  All you
need is an XtTranslations opaque type, which you get from 
XtParseTranslationTable or from XtGetValues.
