A bit off topic, but the following is from the freebsd handbook...

To activate a Russian keyboard, add the following to the  "Keyboard" section of
your XF86Config file.

For XFree86 v3.*:

   XkbLayout  "ru"
   XkbOptions  "grp:caps_toggle"

For XFree86 v4.*:

   Option  "XkbLayout"    "ru"
   Option  "XkbOptions"  "grp:caps_toggle"
