If you use bash as shell you can assign delete-char to the appropriate
keycode (CTRL+V followed by the key to be assigned). See readline(3)
for further details. This should at least work for xterm.
As I didn't found an appropriate function for wscons, I've developed
this little remap hack:

# wsconsctl -w map+="keycode 211 = F11"

Hitting delete should then send the same keycode as F11 (which I
don't need) and you can assign delete-char to it in your ~/.inputrc.
