XKB is one of the standard extensions to the core X protocol. Works much 
better. XModmap uses the core X protocol and thus should work on any X
server.

XFree supports XKB, and has done so since 3.3.something. which means most 
X servers around you support XKB. one popular free X server that lacks 
XKB support is Xvnc.

XIM is intended for languages that have more characters than could fit
on a standard keyboard. Thus it is not exactly useful for Hebrew and
generally for western languages. THus I'm not well familiar with the
subject.
