Well this isn't a total solution, but it may get you started.  I have the
following lines in my ~/.Xdefaults file to map the top row of the keypad as
well as the backspace key.

	XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \
		<Key>BackSpace:         string(0x7f) \n\
		<Key>Num_Lock:          string(0x1b) string("OP") \n\
		<Key>KP_Divide:         string(0x1b) string("OQ") \n\
		<Key>KP_Multiply:       string(0x1b) string("OR") \n\
		<Key>KP_Subtract:       string(0x1b) string("OS") \n\
