This package will very likely become standard in the next 386bsd release. This package is currently not compatible with X11 (not even with the kernel patches for X386), but there is a new (restricted) beta release 0.1.1 which fully supports (the coming version of) XFree86-1.2. If you are interested in the betakit, send me mail. Otherwise the 0.1.0 version is at ftp.uni-duisburg.de in /pub/unix/386bsd-0.1/unofficial/keycap-0.1.0.tar.Z.
