I use Decterm on a linux machine ( with a french keyboard ).
To use the pf keys (for eve etc.), I "xmodmap" this file :

keycode  77 = KP_F1
keycode 112 = KP_F2
keycode  63 = KP_F3
keycode  82 = KP_F4
keycode  79 = KP_7 KP_Home
keycode  80 = KP_8 KP_Up
keycode  81 = KP_9 KP_Prior
keycode  83 = KP_4 KP_Left
keycode  84 = KP_5 KP_Begin
keycode  85 = KP_6 KP_Right
keycode  87 = KP_1 KP_End
keycode  88 = KP_2 KP_Down
keycode  89 = KP_3 KP_Next
keycode  90 = KP_0 KP_Insert
keycode  91 = KP_Decimal KP_Delete
! keycode 107 = KP_Decimal KP_Delete
keycode  99 = KP_6
keycode  97 = Insert Home
keycode 103 = Prior End

keycode  86 = KP_Subtract
keycode 108 = KP_Separator

keycode 106 = Find

!keysym BackSpace = Delete


I don't know if it's the most "elegant" maneer but in my case it works.
I named the file "pfkeys" and I just "xmodmap pfkeys" under linux
