Sorry - I was not specific enough.  I was referring to the native
OSX virtual key codes.  Some apps (e.g. KeyCodes.app) can distinguish
left and right shift,  left and right control.  I can't recall if
they can distinguish left/right on alt and command.

At the low level in OSX (carbon?) there are extra bits for the right
version of shift, control,  and I think one other modifier.

So for those where OSX can distinguish the keys,  we should be able
to get X to report left vs right.  One of the keys will be stuck as
left (or right) only.
