not easily.

i found thsi code in uhidev.c, which is similar to what it needs,
but it is not enabled:

151 #if 0
152
153         qflags = usbd_get_quirks(sc->sc_udev)->uq_flags;
154         if ((qflags & UQ_NO_SET_PROTO) == 0 &&
155             id->bInterfaceSubClass != UISUBCLASS_BOOT)
156                 (void)usbd_set_protocol(iface, 1);
157 #endif

so we're never seting this now.

possible, reversing the above to set the protocol to 0 if there
is a quirk for it would work.

it would be best if someone added real support for this kind of
keyboard...
