Simplest solution I can think of:

1. Use arecordmidi (ALSA) to record the output of the MIDI
    port to a SMF (simple midi file).

2. Use your favorite SMF editor to remap the notes.

Another option is if someone has something like a MIDI 
plug-in that you could configure to translate MIDI events. 
I don't know of any off the top of my head... but maybe 
someone else does.[1]

[1] If it were /me/, I would write one because it sounds
     like a simple and fun side project.  But, it's not
     me and would take longer than using arecordmidi.
