You should be able to, but it's pretty low-level stuff.  Check out the
man pages for showkey(1), loadkeys(1), dumpkeys(1), keymaps(5), and
xmodmap(1). Note that I've only used showkey to look at the scancodes
from my (cheap and cheesy Belkin) USB multimedia keyboard; I've not
yet tried to change my key mappings. 

At any rate, those man pages should get you started.
