Probably not. Given that it seems to be an XKB thing, its availability
probably depends on whether XKB is turned on or not.
In XFree86 3.3.6, XKB is controlled by an option in the XF86Config file
called "XkbDisable". On my machine, "XkbDisable" is commented out,
so I get XKB behavior, including mousekeys. Uncommenting XkbDisable does
pretty much what you'd expect. There's probably a similar option for
XFree86 4.x.
You can find out whether your display supports XKB by typing "xdpyinfo" in
a terminal window. This prints out, among other things, a list of the X
extensions supported by the server...if you see "XKEYBOARD" on the list,
then XKB is available.
