Probably the best thing would be to use a popup like vncviewer; in vncviewer, hitting F8 pops up a menu with the various settings, including an option to send F8. Furthermore, F8 is vncviewer's *only* keyboard shortcut, AFAIK.

A VNC client is a bit like a terminal app. Its job is to stay out of your way so you can forget it exists. Just like gnome-terminal needs no chrome (no menubar, no scrollbar, no statusbar, etc.), a VNC viewer should have the bare minimum chrome (except for an F8 menu or equivalent and a way to connect) so that it stays out of the way.
