Emulation of Sun Keyboard Specific Keys

If you have some keys that you can dedicate to these functions, yes; 
otherwise, no, not with VNC as it is.

For dedicating a key - for example keypad + - do:
  xmodmap -e 'keysym KP_Add = F15 F15 SunFront'

Note that on a standard Sun keyboard, the mappings are as follows:
Top right group (audio off, audio lower, audio raise, power):
	SunAudioMute     SunVideoDegauss
	SunAudioLowerVolume      SunVideoLowerBrightness
	SunAudioRaiseVolume      SunVideoRaiseBrightness
	SunPowerSwitch   SunPowerSwitchShift
Second-right top group (Print Screen, Scroll Lock, Pause):
	print: F22      F22     Print   SunSys_Req
	scroll: F23      F23     Scroll_Lock
	pause: F21      F21     Pause   Break
Function keys F11 and F12:
	F11 is SunF36
	F12 is SunF37
Left group (Stop, Again, etc):
	stop: F11      F11     Cancel
	again: F12      F12     Redo
	props: F13      F13     SunProps
	undo: F14      F14     Undo
	front: F15      F15     SunFront
	copy: F16      F16     SunCopy
	open: F17      F17     SunOpen
	paste: F18      F18     SunPaste
	find: F19      F19     Find
	cut: F20      F20     SunCut

Standard setup won't let you assign a combination - like 'Alt-G' - to these 
keys. In theory, though, a special application can. In addition, Motif does 
provide a mechanism to remap the key assignments for things like copy and 
paste, via 'dtbind' (on CDE systems; 'mwmbind' on standard Motif). Look at 
its manual page for details.
