Alex thanks, new changes(replaced "3" with "№") reflected in new patch file.
1- Phonetic layout works on my box. Please check your config, mine:

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier "Keyboard1"
    Driver "kbd"
    Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
    Option "XkbLayout" "us,kg(phonetic)"
    Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
EndSection

No other changes in xorg.lst and xorg.xml. Try to use this config with original xorg.lst and xorg.xml, and configure X by editing file xorg.conf. I think there may be some mistakes in GUI configurations.

2- I suggest to use ISO code names and no one will be confused about "Kirghiz" and "Kyrgyz" names, both are legal as "Kyrgyzstan" and "Kyrgyz Republic". In Internet our country is shown like "Kyrgyzstan", except some post Soviet countries where republic is used. See http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/English_list.php All foreign translations(non kyrgyz native speakers) translate kyrgyz language according to ISO code, and I agree to use as in ISO standards for now. In future I hope some changes in ISO names will occur.

Sergey, do we need other changes for kirghiz language with two layouts? (basic and phonetic). I think we should add new entry in base.xml.in for phonetic layout, if patch applied.
