That takes a bit of syscons keymap hacking.  You can copy one of the
keymaps from /usr/share/sysconns/keymaps to your custom.map file, and edit
the key entry for LeftAlt.  The kbdmap(5) manpage says that using 'meta'
instead of 'lalt' will do what you want :-)

I haven't tested this, but if you try it out and it works, I'd be glad to
know (a followup to the list would be nice).
