Buttons can be remapped in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d snippet that has the
same matching capabilities (assuming you run more or less recent Xorg).
Keyboard keys are really better going in xkb rules and you can select
custom layout using xorg.conf.d snippet as well. Note that I have heard
rumors about deprecating xmodmap entirely.

If you still want to use xmodmap, it is something to be done as part of
your X session setup, so really out of scope of udev.
