You'll need a microcontroller and a crosspoint switch, such as the ADG2188.

This has been done almost 15 years ago: see PCkeyb2C64.shar at
http://www.zimmers.net/anonftp/pub/cbm/documents/projects/interfaces/

Both the microcontroller and the crosspoint switch used in that document
are probably out of production now.  You'd probably also need to adapt
the algorithm for PC/AT keyboards, since this one might expect the PC/XT
protocol.
