I haven't needed xmodmap for quite a while, but when I did, I put it in the .profile (it was running ksh), with an if check around it. The if check would check to see if a variable was set, and if not, run xmodmap and set the variable. You could also check to make sure DISPLAY is set so if you ssh in, it won't try to run xmodmap.
