I read this paragraph, and decided I should dissuade you from attempting
this, but then...

...hmm, now that is an interesting situation. This might help:
Get the keyboard app xvkbd (there's a debian package for it). Edit the
kdm/xdm file Xsetup, add the line /usr/X11R6/bin/xvkbd & to the end,
just before exit 0. When you start kdm/xdm next you should see a
keyboard.
