In my current version of emacs (24.0.50 from bzr) C-x x and C-x g do not
appear to be bound to anything. Therefore, if I understand your question
correctly, all you need to do is identify the names of the functions
that use to be bound to these keys and re-bind them. 

I notice that we do have 

C-x r x - copy-to-register 
C-x r g - insert-register 

Provided the C-x x and C-x g keys have not been bound to anything else
on your system, you should be a le to just set a global binding for
these keys that use the above functions.
