Try rebinding the first symbol that appears in the xmodmap -pk dump.
For example, the line for home on my Type 4 keyboard is:

     75         0xffd8 (F27)    0xffd8 (F27)    0xffb7 (KP_7)   0xff50 (Home)

So do the binding:

     (rebind-key "F27" nil "\M-<")           ; Make "Home" go to top of buffer

I've re-bound "Home", "PgUp", etc. this way.  Itza verra nysh.
