The best I can think of is to add entries for each unassigned combo, such as:

<dead_circumflex> <b>           : "^b"

to $HOME/.XCompose as described in the XCompose man page, but I haven't
tested to confirm that works.   You should be able to find the existing
entries in a Compose file for your locale, such as
/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose (exact location may depend on
the configure flags used to build/package libX11).
