There's a special key map for Emacs. Try this:
1. To test it, do:
kbdcontrol -l /usr/share/syscons/keymaps/us.emacs.kbd
2. To have it set automatically on boot, put this in your
/etc/rc.conf:
keymap=us.emacs.kbd

It's not clear which keys you're talking about here, nor which codes
they're really generating. If you still have problems, please
clarify.

That doesn't sound very likely, though I haven't played around with
the termcap entries.

In X, try running xev to see what it's really generating.
