Exit the window manager, or press Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, to shut down X. Type startx to restart X.

There are many ways you can choose from multiple options; usually an easy way is to write a couple of lines of script. For choosing one of two xmodmap files to use, you could include a prompt in .xinitrc:
| Code Sample | echo "would you like Dvorak today? (Y|n)" && read answer
case "$answer" in
N|n) xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap-qwerty;;
*) xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap-dvorak;;
esac |
Anything other than a response of "N" or "n" will use dvorak.
There are probably better ways, but this is the first thing that came to mind

) was to create two xmodmap scripts and link them to the desktop by hand. 
Not the best aesthetically, but does the job in an instant, and without the need for a restart. Would it be possible to convert keymaps to xmodmaps on the fly...?
