The FreeNX svn hasn't been updated since 2008.
It is missing a number of patches . . . . 
        ( so what exactly are you using ??? )

. . . like the one to fix evdev/changing of the key mappings

If it's the evdev issue, you need the line in your nxnode near

cat << EOF > "$USER_FAKE_HOME/.nx/C-$sess_id/options"

which
looks a bit like :-


${keyboard:+keyboard=$keyboard,}${client:+client=$client,}${kbtype:+kbtype=$kbtype,}${kbload:+kbload=$kbload,}${keymap:+keymap=$keymap,}${resize:+resize=$resize,}${CACHE}${IMAGES}${PACK}link=$link,nodelay=$nodelay,type=$realtype,cleanup=0,${ACCEPT}cookie=$proxy_cookie,id=$sess_id,samba=$samba,media=$media${sync:+,sync=$sync}${cups:+,cups=$cups}${keybd:+,keybd=$keybd}${aux:+,aux=$aux}${
http:+,http=$http
}${rdpcolors:+,rdpcolors=$rdpcolors}${rdpcache:+,rdpcache=$rdpcache}${fullscreen:+,fullscreen=1}${clipboard:+,clipboard=$clipboard}${menu:+,menu=$menu}:$display


to actually look like that.

The evdev keymapping bit is the 

        ${client:+client=$client,}

see /nx-X11/programs/Xserver/hw/nxagent/Keyboard.c
