Num lock is a modifer. xmodmap will tell you which one, eg:

shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3 Mode_switch (0x71)
mod4 Super_L (0x73), Super_R (0x74)
mod5 Scroll_Lock (0x4e)

You can `xmodmap -e 'clear Mod2'`, but that will disable num lock, or you
can duplicate all your key/mouse bindings with and without Mod2 (tedious).
I believe the latest betas have an IgnoreModifier thingy you can also use.
