Do you have some key mapped to 'Compose' (Right Ctrl or one of those funny
Windows keys or Ctrl-. usually is)?  If so, you could type a-umlaut with 
<Compose> <"> <a> 

(I even use this even for German text on a German keyboard, but I have 

keycode 114 = Multi_key
keycode 115 = Multi_key
keycode 116 = Multi_key
keycode 117 = Multi_key
keycode 118 = Multi_key

in my .Xmodmap, so the chance of hitting a compose key is high ;-)
