I was trying to do this just yesterday.

The way I did it:

Created a .xmodmap file with one line -

        keycode 104 = Return

The default value is KP_Enter instead of Return, ie the Keypad enter.
I did try to do some stuff with the .Xdefaults to translate KP_Enter
to send a "\n" but couldn't so decided on doing it this way.

This method does mean it applies to all applications not just rxvt.

Hope this helps
