No, no! Xmodmap is a basic utility of X11. If you haven't installed  
X11, then of course you have only something basic before you. The  
developer packages usually contain C header files and static  
libraries. Of course you can count compiler packages to the developer  
packages. And sometimes (I think with Fedora always) you also get the  
source code for the packages, except they are third party drivers,  
for example for the graphics adapter.

Commonly X11 is started (and personalised) with the help of a little  
script ~/.xinitrc or ~/.xsession. Templates for these files contain  
invocations of xrdb (to load and set X resources), xset (to set the  
path to X11 font repositories), and xmodmap, to correct the meaning  
of keyboard keys, particularly to set modifier keys like shift,  
control, alt, hyper, super, compose. And xmodmap allows you to swap  
left and right mouse buttons, which the left hand might like when you  
used for the pointing device.
