Sure! Just use your .xmodmaprc file and run it through xmodmap in your
~/.xinitrc or equivalent file, i.e.,

        xmodmap -e ~/.xmodmaprc

where .xmodmaprc has something like this:

! Assign left Win95 key to L5 (Raise/Lower in fvwm2)
keycode 115 = L5
! Assign right Win95 key to Compose Character
keycode 116 = Multi_key
! Assign right "menu" key to L7 (Iconify in fvwm2)
keycode 117 = L7

In my example, you can then assign L5/L7 to actions in your .fvwm2rc file.
