Well, I thought the FAQ had the last word on numlock, perhaps not.

The man page touches on this, but it could be clearer.
Do:
xmodmap -pm
For me, (under Exceed), I get:
me> xmodmap -pm
xmodmap: up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x31), Shift_R (0x3d)
lock Caps_Lock (0x41)
control Control_L (0x24), Control_R (0x5e)
mod1 Alt_L (0x3f), Alt_R (0x61)
mod2
mod3 Num_Lock (0x62)
mod4
mod5
So, in this case, the fvwm modifier for numlock is "3".
