I will pose this as a question since I don't know for sure whether this
would work, maybe someone could verify.

If you had a specific keymap entry in /etc/rc.conf, would
running /etc/netstart reset the keyboard?  I use netstart to reread
rc.conf pretty often, and I have my keymap specified as
keymap="/usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.iso.kbd".  I just haven't ever had a
problem with the keyboard becoming inoperable.
