You should be able to put this in your (the user you login as)
~/.bash_profile:
export XMODIFIERS='@im=kinput2'
export LC_CTYPE=ja_JP.utf8
/usr/X11R6/bin/kinput2 -canna &
If that works, and if you need them for all users, you can later move
them to a file named ja-support in /etc/profile.d/

That might not be the best solution though.
I don't know how iiimf works ... but I notice that there are plenty of
files in /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d and /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d for
CentOS-4 that are related to iiimf, there has to be another way to make
it autoload.
