For X11 and Linux console this is completely separate. For the console, you configure the keymap in /etc/vconsole.conf, and you add "keymap" to the HOOKS line in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf to have it loaded early in the initrd to enter your encryption pw. For X11 you either use KDE's keyboard settings (since Neo is apparantly shipped with xkeyboard-config, it should be listed by xkb), or you just run setxkbmap somewhere in your X startup scripts as suggested by Robbie.
