Another way to remap home and end is to save a property list like this as ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict:
{ "\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfLine:; "\UF72B" = moveToEndOfLine:; "$\UF729" = moveToBeginningOfLineAndModifySelection:; "$\UF72B" = moveToEndOfLineAndModifySelection:; } It doesn't work in as many places as KeyRemap4MacBook, but there are also less false positives.
If you use one of the predefined settings in KeyRemap4MacBook, you can customize it by copying it from https://raw.github.com/tekezo/KeyRemap4MacBook/master/Tests/lib/string/data/checkbox.xml to private.xml:
