I've clearly learned a bit over the years. I had a keyboard with the
keys in the wrong place. I wrote a program that mounted on top of
/dev/cons and just did swapping. I'll try to dig it up. Having
/n/dump is great but only if you can remember sort of what the
file was called.
If you need to see up/down events, you have to rewrite kbd.c

I haven't checked out the new system, but unless they added some of
forsythe's hacks you may have to do some work to get a qwerty->dvorak
mapping to work. I'm curious why one can't just buy a keyboard mapped
to dvorak already?

Is there a way to swap keys around to emulate a dvorak keyboard with a
normal one? I couldn't find anything in the man pages of documentation I
have.

Nope, hack kbd.c.

i've got small changes to kbd.c and a rudimentary #κ device that exports
a kbmap file. you can echo things to it to change some of the maps.
i haven't yet defined a sensible interface between it and kbd.c;
currently it is PC only, but that should change.
