Me too!
ALT-Fx is in use for other parts of the VT220 emulation.
CTRL-ALT-Fx is consistent with the Xfree way of switching vt's.
As a shorthand F9, F10, F11 and F12 are available for the 1st 4 vt's.

Not without hacking the source (pretty trivial).
Besides that, there is this consistency problem. ALT-Fx is in use, shall i
use CTRL-Fx, or SHIFT-Fx ??
The cleanest solution would be to allow it to remap very key to anything -
a character, a function, a vt-switch, a <imagine something>.
Unfortunately this requires a fundamental rewrite of the keyboard part,
which i wanted to start last year already :-(
