I want to make a "gaming dvorak" keyboard. What's a good program for doing this?

Try getting keyboard keycodes with:

xev

Then, using those keycodes for xmodmap (http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xmodmap#xmodmap_within_a_shell).

You can create a shell script that maps all the keys to Dvorak, when you're gaming, then, when you log out, they'll all be back to normal.

Alternatively, have a look here (http://dvorak.mwbrooks.com/unix.html#xmod).
