Feasible: depend upon your definition of "feasible". You would have to
add all keymaps statically into the kernel. No idea which parts exactly
we talk about, but:

% du -h /usr/share/syscons/
40k /usr/share/syscons/scrnmaps
570k /usr/share/syscons/fonts
1.1M /usr/share/syscons/keymaps
1.8M /usr/share/syscons/

I wouldn't mind for 40k, but 1.8M looks more like the value to calculate
with. Anyway, this is out of the scope of the original question.
Correct me if I'm wrong but zfs already fetches plain file
/boot/zfs/zpool.cache on load. Can't this be:
1. Postponed to later processing.
2. After filesystems are mounted the keymap is loaded.
This is already the case. you can set the keymap in rc.conf.
Or even:
1. Put all viable files on the / partition.
2. Select and load correct one before kernel is fired.
This is not the same as compiling it in the kernel. Think about a
problem where parts of your FS are corrupt / damaged / overwritten
with nonsense. Yes you can minimize the problem by loading it more
early, but having it in the kernel removes the keyboard problem
completely.
Bye,
