I'm not entirely sure I understand your question. Do you want some
action taken when these keys are pressed alone, or when some other
keys are pressed in combination with them?

In the latter case, you can do something along the lines of what I've
done: Assign one of X's little used modifiers to the keys, and use
that modifier's number in .fvwm2rc. In your .xsession (or anywhere
else that this will always be done when it needs to) do something
along the lines of:

case $DISPLAYTYPE in
  .
  .
<The displaytype in question>)
        xmodmap - <<-END
                add mod3 = L-meta
                add Mod4 = R-meta
                add mod5 = menu
                END
        ;;

(If these keys by default have other modifiers, you may need to use
clear/remove first. Check the xmodmap man page.)

Now, in your .fvwm2rc you can do things like:

Key i A 3 Iconify
Key r A 3 Refresh

etc.
