Panther broke support for honoring the value set in Mac OS 9, so I
took the source for the keyboard driver (AppleADBKeyboard) from Darwin
and made a simple change to invert the check for the fn key. One of
the nice advantages of an open source kernel.
Sometime after 10.3.0 (10.3.2 I think?) They readded this support
directly in the Keyboard & Mouse control panel.
There is software out there that will do it. I can't remember the
name, but it is the same program that lets you make modifications to
how the track pad works. I decided to play it safe and use a simple
driver update I compiled myself rather than something that hooked its
way into the OS in multiple ways.
You are probably thinking of uControl which I continue to use for the
emulated mouse wheel support. I used it for a little bit for F-keys,
but was disappointed that it only let you force the keys as F-keys and
not invert the default behavior (which the Keyboard & Mouse CP does).

Reality is what, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
Failure is not an option. It is a privilege reserved for those who try.
