Insert an _additional_ set of Key definitions but with the modifier for
your Num_Lock key. On my Sun Solaris machine, they would be:

Key Left R 3 Scroll -100 0
Key Right R 3 Scroll 100 0
Key Up R 3 Scroll 0 -100
Key Down R 3 Scroll 0 100

because Num_Lock is assigned to mod3. I haven't tried this, but it should
work. Type xmodmap in an xterm window and you should see which modifier
Num_Lock is assigned to for your machine.
