But then I remembered that "keysyms" aren't really cast
in stone, and
that with a little trickery you can fake keysyms from Lisp. Here is
the result:
(global-set-key '(alt a) [fake-keysym])
(global-set-key 'fake-keysym 'self-insert-command)
(put 'fake-keysym 'ascii-character ?\301)
Thank you very much Hrvoje. This is exactly what I needed.
I think I understand key bindings a little but more now.

I believe the CANONICAL way to do this is via
(global-unset-key [(alt a)]) ;; probably not necessary
(define-key function-key-map [(alt a)] [ydiaeresis])
There are so many wonderful ways to define what your keyboard does in
xemacs. Combine that with xmodmap, loadkeys, xkb, and you can start
your new career as a keyboard-remapping consultant!

Is that canonical in the canonical sense of the word? :-)
Seriously, I don't have a clue about Latin 1 keysyms so I don't grok
"ydiaeresis". I do know, however, that my solution will work for all
characters, Croatian, Japanese, Chinese, etc. That makes it
preferrable or, if you want, canonical.

This reminds me of Dave's "X Keyboard Model Madness" rant.
