Just a few quick hints:
man loadkeys: should help at least for the console, maybe even X.
also:
ls /usr/share/keymaps/mac/ | grep pl
mac-pl_m-ext.kmap.gz
mac-pl_m-ext1.kmap.gz
The files above are part of the console-data package
man install-kmap (part of condole-common package) says:
[ ... ]
the problem is, most keymap files are not self-contained, so it
does not help to just copy the selected file into the root partition.
The best known solution so far is to expand the keymap file so that it
becomes self-contained, and put it in the root partition. That's what
this tool does [ ... ]
So after reading the excerpt above I'm not sure any more whether it's
save to just copy some map below /usr/share/keymaps/mac/ to
/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz (which I might have done, IIRC ...)
As to X:
For my German keyboard I have this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf (excerpt) :
-------------------------------------------
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:lwin_switch"
--------------------------------------------
