I do this (US keyboard layout on German keyboards) since the mid/late 90's without problems. The physical differences are not very relevant (it's just things like the size of the Return key and related to that, the location of the Backslash key). I seem to remember that the Amiga had a German keyboard layout which was much more convenient for programmers (at least I only started the habit of using the US layout after I switched from Amiga to PC).
