Actually you can, it turns out that simply adding
keycode 116=Multi_key
turns your right Windows key into the compose. I got the keycode number using xev, and I would recommend anybody using this method to double check their keycode with xev. I suppose it should be the same but I dunno for for sure. Incidentally if you have fancy buttons on your keyboard using xev you can find out their keycodes and then assign them to Function keys in your .Xmodmap simply adding lines like
keycode <number>=F30
Once they are mapped to mundane functions keys, you can enter them as keyboard shortcuts on any KDE/GNOME app.
