I modified one of the files on /usr/share/syscons/keymaps and added a line of the form: /usr/sbin/kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/mykeys to my .profile. This seems to work fine. I am posting it in case someone else is looking for similar functionality. If anyone can think of another solution that doesn't require external keymap files, please post it.
