Well it's definitely not Aqua ;-).
Does
setxkbmap -layout jp -model jp106 -rules xfree86
work for you?
Yes, in the sense that this gives me the Japanese keyboard layout, but the keys still produce no input. I presume the problem lies at a deeper level (kernel?), as none of the keys (listed here with keycodes 135 - 139) seem produce any kind of input. http://www.win.tue.nl/~aeb/linux/kbd/scancodes-7.html#ss7.1 (...)
If the above command works, what keyboard settings do you have in /etc/X11/XF86config?
FWIW :
Section "InputDevice"
Driver "keyboard"
Identifier "Keyboard[0]"
Option "Protocol" "Standard"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
Option "XkbModel" "pc106"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
