You only get your remote affecting X because X is configured that way. If you 
change the Driver option in the InputDevice section in your XF86Config-4 
(from "keyboard" to "dummy"), then no keys on the remote will do anything to 
X. X is incredibly configurable - you can have alternate configurations in 
the same file and invoke the one you want using a command line option, for 
example.
Then, with no keyboard influence, you can do magic with lirc and 
/dev/input/event0 to create the X events you need.
