All the voodoo we need to care about is in the xf86-input-keyboard  
driver, see xsrc/external/mit/xf86-input-keyboard/dist/src/ 
bsd_KbdMap.c, there's a bunch of tables which map Sun, ADB etc.  
scancodes to AT-ish ones used by Xorg. Add a table for HIL, add a  
case: for it to KbdGetMapping and that's pretty much it. Alternatively  
you could let the HIL keyboard driver produce USB scancodes in event  
mode and change its type to WSKBD_TYPE_USB - that wouldn't need any  
changes in X.
Eventually I'll do that with ADB and Sun keyboard drivers so they can  
live on the same mux with USB keypads and the like in event mode too.
I'd do the above myself but unfortunately my 345 is still on the other  
side of the atlantic.

have fun
Michael
