Try removing Mode_switch from the list of mod1 keys.

Up to now, that is okay, but X11 keymap for Apple keybords associate
the Alt key to what is usually named Alt-Gr on PC keyboards (the
Mode_switch keysym).

Sounds very much like you have Alt-Gr behaviour. I am under the
impression that Alt-Gr plane switching is assiociated to key with the
Mode_switch keysym and not a particular mod.

Attached a couple of xmodmap script I use on my own iBook.

keycode 115=Meta_L
add mod4 = Meta_L
remove mod3 = Mode_switch
keysym KP_Enter = Mode_switch
add mod3 = Mode_switch
