I believe you can define the win key as a modifier (if it isn't already
in X) and then define what pageup should do when modifier win is active.

It may be that you need to get into modifying the keyboard layout to
implement such a thing though.

Look at setxkbmap and xkbcomp.

I have never tried doing what you want, but I am sure it can be done
somehow.
