You can create your own keymaps for wscons, /usr/share/wscons/keymaps 
has a few examples. I've never done that myself though.

Use xev to find out which scancode a given key sends, then use xmodmap 
to assign it the right key symbol. You can save the keymap using 
'xmodmap -pke > /some/file' and load it again using 'xmodmap 
/some/file' - you might want that in your .xinitrc
Or, since xmodmap is more suitable for small corrections than whole new 
keymaps, you can try to make a 'real' keymap using xkb but I've never 
done that either.
There is a chance though that an xkb map that matches your keyboard 
already exists.

have fun
