You can, if A) you live in the Lafayette area, and B) are willing to
spend about $50 on the Sun to PS/2 adapter thinger.  The Sun type-6
USB keyboards are $65 from Sun.  Nice keyboard, but my USB logitech
keyboard and optical mouse together were cheaper.

I know of no "good" keyboards like Sun keyboards that are cheap. 
You can use xmodmap or something like it to remap keys.  Then tape a
new label to your keys if they can't be popped off and moved.

WARNING: this will confuse your friends.  Maybe you should think
about using the Dvorak keyboard layout too.  :-)
