for me it is (de layout) 
xmodmap:  up to 2 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4        Super_L (0x73),  Super_R (0x74)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x71)

The XFree-lib-compat package provides dlls with the old naming scheme and
I've not expirienced any problems with older programs using these libraries.

There is a file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/XKeysymDB. when adding the following line
on VMS then the keysym should be recognized. 
ISO_Level3_Shift		:0000FE03
