I am currently dealing with figuring this out myself, but for me it's low 
priority right now.  However, I do have an excellent workaround if your goal
is to get a sensible emacs.  Assuming, that your PI has Xsgi running on it, and
the X development kit, just build emacs to run under X.  I tried this, and to
my astonishment the alt-key worked as the meta-key with no prodding on my part.
Then the rest of your changes become somewhat standard emacs hacks (see 
gnu.emacs for details-don't ask me for help with lisp...)
