As for Num Lock, the key located at the same position on Apple keyboards as Num Lock on PC keyboards is called Clear, doesn't lock anything and is used for entirely different purpose. Kana Lock is a mystery to me: I'm not an expert in I18N, so I've plugged in that ancient Japanese PC keyboard we have in our office, but it looks like OS X ignores Kana Lock key on this keyboard and doesn't generate any key code we can check.
