I believe the input-method approach John suggested should work even in
Emacs 21.

Another option, if you're willing to change your habits somewhat, is
to switch to

(require 'iso-insert)

which will globally bind C-x 8 ' a to á, etc.  In Emacs 22, both
iso-acc and iso-insert still exist, albeit under lisp/obsolete, so I
wouldn't expect to find them in newer major versions (23+).
