You are aware of

	<ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/contrib/Xmodmap/de/>

as an example?

What you do to make up the correct layout is essentially crank up the MacOS
"Keyboard" desk accessory to find out all the <opt> and <shift> <opt> key
combinations you are interested in (a second Mac helps here) and set up the
Xmodmap table accordingly.
