in /etc/X11/xdm (or /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xdm) are the configuration
files for xdm. As man xdm stated, the file Xsetup should be the
one you're looking for. On my host, a Xsetup_0 is provided for
screen 0, but it seems to be just a shell script.
so try
#!/bin/sh
/usr/X11R6/bin/xmodmap /etc/X11/xmodmap.de

In xdm-config add the line
DisplayManager*setup:        /etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup
