I think this did the trick for my HP 9000/750:

In .profile.personal:

  xmodmap - <<-END
     clear Control
     add Control = Control_L
     clear Mod1
     add Mod1 = Meta_L Meta_R
     keycode 118 = osfBeginLine
  END

Actually, I think the lines you are interested in are the "Mod1" lines.
Just thought I would be 'open'.  :-)
