For those people running XFree86, put this in /etc/X11/XF86Config:
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
XkbOptions "ctrl:swapcaps"
There is also "ctrl:nocaps" which, I assume, makes Caps Lock act the
same as Control instead of swapping then.
man XF86Config should tell you more.
