I don't think so.  If you have a look at the lossage (C-h l), you see
what events Emacs receives before doing any key translations.

For the up and kp-up keys for example I see the same events coming from
the terminal: ESC O A.  Thus Emacs can't distinguish the two.

At least that's what happens here.  Maybe it is different when using
a different terminal or different terminal settings.
