You can at least modify the character map for the multitap keyboard - it's in
etc/multitap-pad/im-multipress.conf
You can add printing characters like slashes, pipe and so on. Not ideal but at

I found the same as you last night. I was trying to follow the instructions at
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Switching_Keyboards
I've just used mokomakefile to build the packages:
make build-package-matchbox-keyboard-inputmethod
I'll let you know how I get on...
