Probably, but it's most likely unnecessary. All you really need to do
is set dwm up to use Mod4 and MODKEY, and add two keybindings:
        Mod4+G -> xmodmap -e "remove mod4 = Alt_L" -e "add mod1 = Alt_L"
        Mod1+G -> xmodmap -e "remove mod1 = Alt_L" -e "add mod4 = Alt_L"

Replace "Alt_L" with whatever key(s) you want to multiplex.
