I don't know if this will help you, but I made option to act as alt_meta on my PB G4 (not a system wide setting, though this would be nice), and I can write with diacritics in Romanian.I couldn't use dead keys to produce letter with diacritical accents, nor get the Command key to act as Meta. I've got a beige G3 with US ADB keyboard. Can anyone give any tips?
It's a long, long story. Initially I had:
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4:
Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "keyboard" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xfree86" Option "XkbModel" "macintosh" Option "XkbLayout" "us_intl" Option "XkbOptions" "altwin:meta_win,altwin:menu" EndSection

/var/log/dmesg:

Then I did some fiddling with gnome-keyboard-properties. Strangely almost every time I change something there, my Gnome theme switches to some default (ugly) theme and back. I managed to get accented characters, but I lost the right Alt (Option) key and I still can't use the Command (Apple) key as Meta.
At this moment I got:
~ $ gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/kbd layouts = [us_intl,en_US] model = macintosh overrideSettings = false options = [grp grp:alts_toggle,altwin altwin:meta_win]
I have in /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/options = [lv3 lv3:lwin_switch,grp grp:alts_toggle]
Note that I don't use dead keys.
PS: /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/layouts = [ro ro_us,us] /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/model = macintosh /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/overrideSettings = false /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/update_handlers = []
