Is it possible to allow defining keys combination as the modifier? I used to be a wmii user, on which I define Ctrl-t as the modifier a la Ratpoison and Emacs.

This isn't currently possible, although it wouldn't be too hard to write (the tricky part is running through all the windows and updating which keys are grabbed each time the current keymap is changed).

Actually, it's easier than that: I wrote a proof of concept that allows creating submaps. See XMonadContrib.Submap. It may or may not be actually useful, I just wanted to play with it and see if XGrabKeyboard() and XUngrabKeyboard() work the way I thought they did. (And basically, they do) Jason Creighton
