If you can type enough to do this, run "pkgtool" (I think this is the proper command. I'm on a windoze box at school right now so I can't check) and choose to rerun the startup script for keyboard and choose a new keyboard, or edit /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap (again, I can't double check this, it could just be a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.M) and change the line that loads your keymap.

Otherwise, boot off of your rescue disk or choose the rescue option when booting off of your first install disk. Mount your drive read-write if it isn't already. Then edit /etc/rc.d/rc.keymap (or maybe it's a line in /etc/rc.d/rc.M) to choose the proper keymap.
