I've had partial success by doing this:
$ xkbcomp :0 default.xkb
$ vi default.xkb
comment out the two rules that cause syntax errors:
// interpret AccessX_Enable+AnyOfOrNone(all) {
// action= LockControls(controls=);
// };
// interpret MouseKeys_Accel_Enable+AnyOfOrNone(all) {
// action= LockControls(controls=);
// };
Now you can restore the settings back by running
$ xkbcmp default.xkb :0
if you screw up and end up with a nonfunctional keyboard.
Next
$ cp default.xkb mg.xkb
$ vi mg.xkb
key <RGHT> {
type= "FOUR_LEVEL",
symbols[Group1]= [ Right, Right, Tab, Tab ]
};
$ xkbcomp mg.xkb :0
and now Fn+Right arrow is a Tab key.
Sadly I don't know enough about xkbcomp to see if it's possible to make
it load incomplete maps on top of the current configuration, just to
update a few symbols without replicating the full configuration.

Maybe the files in /var/cache/xkb contain precompiled versions of those?
I'm not adventurous enough to go and start editing files in /usr/.
Although creating a new symbols file in there and loading it on top of
the defaults with setxkbmap ought to maybe work...
