The short answer is 'no'.  Your server's probably looking in
/xorg7/share/X11/xkb for data files, so if they're not installed there,
symlink that to either /usr/share/X11/xkb (Fedora/RHEL/SUSE) or
/etc/X11/xkb (Debian, Ubuntu).

The functions you want to hook into are mostly in xkbInit.c,
particularly XkbInitKeyboardDeviceStruct, though.

Cheers,
Daniel
