Isn't there a way a userland programm can inject events into wskbd(4) /
wsmux(4)?

Yes, wsmux(4) says:
It is also possible to inject events into a multiplexor from a
user program.
Completely other solution, you may have a look at this:
http://www.kbdbabel.org/
There is a converter that converts the Sun 4/5/6 (and thus Sun 3)
keyboard protocol into PS/2. I use one the other way around to connect
a good, old SGI labeled ALPS PS/2 keyboard to my Ultra 60...
Strange that you call a Sun type 3 keyboard "good". They are one of the
most hideously keyboards I've come across. Close to a DEC LK201.
