Keyboards on Apples was always a pain. First question: Which key would you use as the AltGr? I recommend The Apple-Key, but some would like to use it as the Win-key for opening the applications-roster (it's the same Keycode). Writing Keymaps isn't that hard. Even xmodmap is an option to involve. Probably I can find some time to write the =2Exmodmaprc for German and a customized Dvorak layout, so that they will be loaded with xmodmap. Or even better complete layouts which we can send upstream so that they become included in future X.org-releases. But that work has to be done -- and it's also just a feature. Thanks to all who already tested the utility. It seems that we can include it to the LiveDVD (if nobody will commit a bug about it).
