Why? XF86 should do this for you.
Oh, wait, maybe that's just a default in my world. In your
XF86Config's Keyboard section, you want:
LeftAlt Meta
RightAlt ModeShift
... or whatever you think's appropriate.
(Check the relevant man pages, of course.)
You'll need to restart X after doing so.

What are your environment settings for LANG and LC_CTYPE? This
should only affect display, not your ability to type the keys. I've
got a feeling your xmodmap changes were either unnecessary or
ineffective.
