Doing this through X can be preferable in some cases because you want to 
  remap the keyboard when using the application on one device (with one 
keyboard), but not when others.  It can be more of a device 
configuration (sort of like display resolution, color depth, etc.) than 
a user preference.

Then again, you might be able to use xmodmap to do what you want.
