I had a look at it too - here are some comments:

The code emulates a PC keyboard, which is ... funny.
It should get an own lookup table. I see that the wskbd
translation code is not designed with LK201s in mind,
but it seems possible to use this anyway.
The keysym table should go to a place more related
to the hardware (probably sys/dev/dec).
For some wscons compatible keyboard handling you
can have a look at arch/vax/vsa/lkc.c; the lookup table is in
arch/vax/uba/qfont.c. (It bypasses the wskbd lookup for
now which should be changed eventually.)

How do you think about making the lk201 handling a
line discipline?
