Is it possible to remap special keys on a Windows keyboard for use with Mac OSX?

Is it possible to remap special keys on a Windows keyboard for use with
Mac OSX?

So I bought a new keyboard for my Mac Pro, and it is the Microsoft
Sidewinder X4. This keyboard is good for me because of it's LED
backlighting and lots of features. However, upon installation, it seems
that most of the nice features are dead on OSX.
In particular, the keyboard has macro keys that can be set using a "record
macro" button. It also has a calculator key. The software that comes with
the keyboard is the generic microsoft IntelliType for Windows/OSX, and I
installed it. However, these special keys are still dead.
Is there anyway to still utilize these keys? Even if I just had to remap
the macro keys by hand to custom key-strokes, that would be fine, but I
can't find a way. I tried using KeyRemap4MacBook, but it only allows
remapping of OSX keys (not calculator, extra macro keys, or any keys that
aren't found on an apple keyboard).
Any help is appreciated!
