Or I can set the function keys to not do their mac functions, i.e., to work as standard function keys. Can one do better? I'd even be happy if I could make the 7 key the GOLD key and the 9 key the PF3 key. Or maybe something with the 6-key key cluster (fn, home, pg up, delete, end, pg dn)? I really miss using PF1 and PF3 to FIND NEXT and FIND.

To have the top row function keys default to acting as functions keys, 
go to System Preferences -> Keyboard and check the "Use F1, F2, etc. 
keys as standard function keys" box.

To get all of the keypad function keys to work the same as a VMS 
keyboard, you need to define the necessary escape sequences into 
terminal.  Go to Terminal -> Preferences -> Profiles and select the 
keyboard tab.  Add any keys not already defined.  For example,
Numeric Keypad Clear -> \033OP
Numeric Keypad = -> \033OQ
Numeric Keypad / -> \033OR
Numeric Keypad * -> \033OS

will get you PF1 - PF4.

You can define all of the keys except the fn key.
