With the attached patch you should be able to use encoding=fr
But I did this for a powerbook G3, so the keyboard mapping may not be
exactly rigth (this powerbook keyboard had keys which weren't mapped at all
in wscons). Now I don't have access to the powerbook any more, I'm waiting
access to a desktop powermac to clean this up.

For X I just did it with xmodmap. You may want to install xkeycaps, it will
help you a lot to do the mapping.
Unfortunably I didn't save the xmodmap file :(
