On  http://www.nomachine.com/tr/view_notes.php?commid=86&id=TR09C01029
there's a workaround listed:

askwar at hetzner /usr/NX/bin $ xkbcomp -w 1 -m de /etc/X11/xkb/keymap/xfree86 $DISPLAY
Error:            Can't find file "en_US" for symbols include
                   Exiting
                   Abandoning symbols file "de"
Error:            success in unknown
                   Couldn't write keyboard description to unix:1000.0

This didn't work either.
