Only if you're not using evdev.  See bug #968.  In particular if you do 
EVIOCGRAB on a keyboard it comes out of the default keyboard pool.

evdev is totally keymap-agnostic, that's handled in XKB within the server.  
The ruby stuff may still be necessary for people who want multiple text 
consoles, but I don't have words for how little that interests me.
