Yes there is. If you are at the console have a look at kbdcontrol(1), pick a keyboard map from /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/, like us.emacs.kbd and edit it to your liking. If you are using X Windows System have a look at xmodmap(1). To use it, do something like 'xmodmap -pke > ~/.xmodmap' whilst in X, then edit ~/.xmodmap to your needs. Then run 'xmodmap ~/.xmodmap' and see if it accts the way you like it. Another tool you might find useful when creating keyboard mappings is xev(1), it will tell you what your keys are mapped to.
