In mythtv lirc settings you don't want to map the buttons to commands,
you want to map them to keyboard keys. Then in mythtv you can decide
what those keys do. For example I use a mceusb2 remote and in my
.lircrc I have:

# Skip forward (60 sec)
begin
    remote = mceusb
    prog = mythtv
    button = Forward
    config = Right
    repeat = 2
    delay = 2
end

You can edit key bindings from the frontend, but I prefer to use
mythweb (under settings -> mythtv -> key bindings). I think the
"Right" key is already bound to forward seek by default. To answer
your other question the time for seeking and jumping are set in the
front end under TV settings -> Playback Groups. But I would leave your
pgup and pgdown alone and fix the .lircrc so that forward and reverse
are mapped to "Right" and "Left". Then edit the playback group to have
it skip forward and back the amount you want.
