Dear Mark & Harald,
many thanks for this explanation! I have now a file "~/.Xmodmap" with
entry
keycode 66 = Alt_L
on my MacPro, and an additional line with
keycode 84 = Mode_switch
on my MacBook Pro to redefine the otherwise unused "numerical keypad
enter" key on the right side as the "standard" Mode_switch function of
the Alt/Option key, so that I can "have your cake and eat it too", as
Jeremy wrote.
Many thanks again for your quick and effective help!
Best regards,
Dirk.

The traditional name for that file is ~/.Xmodmap (capital X, no -rc),
and the standard X startup scripts used to look for that file and
load
it with xmodmap automatically, but it appears you have to roll your
own these days.
AFAICT, /usr/X11/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc does that:
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
[...]
if [ -f "$usermodmap" ]; then
xmodmap "$usermodmap"
fi
