You can try

   (defvar bla-mode-map
     (let ((map (make-sparse-keymap)))
       (define-key map "v" 'bla-v-command)
       ...
       (define-key map "s" 'bla-s-command)
       ;; `t' is a special "default" binding.
       (define-key map [t] 'undefined)
       map))

it will prevent function-key-map from doing its job, tho since
all keys will be considered bound to `undefined'.
You might also have some problems with the fact that frame
switches (with the mouse) go through a `switch-frame' event,
so you might want to explicitly bind it to nil to make sure
that its binding in the global map is used.
