First do

  (setq epoch::function-key-mapping nil)

to turn off ESC mapping for function keys.  Then use

(rebind-key "keysym" 'modifier "macro")

where keysym can be discovered by

  M-! xmodmap -pk

(or via the X command "xev" to check the actual keysyms)

and modifiers by (where 0 = no modifier)

  M-! xmodmap -pm

For example,

  (rebind-key "BackSpace" 0 "\C-?")

to make backspace do delete-backward-char, or

  (rebind-key "Return" 'shift "\C-x\C-e")

to make S-RET do eval-last-sexp.

For more info, look in the file etc/EPOCH-FAQ.  I will be posting a
new version of this soon.
