Take a look at xmodmap.  I have the following in my .xinitrc, to put
the control and alt keys where God intended them:

  xmodmap .xremap

.xremap contains:

keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Meta_L
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
remove Mod1 = Meta_L
keysym Control_L = Meta_L
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Mod1 = Meta_L
add Control = Control_L
keycode  94 = grave asciitilde

For a full Dvorak keyboard, you'd need a few more entries than that,
of course.
