ACCEPTED ANSWER
Score 203
Home is Fn ←
End is Fn →
Page Up is Fn ↑
Page Down is Fn ↓
Forward Delete is Fn delete
Insert is Fn return*2
They used to label these on older MacBooks/PowerBooks.
Note 1: Not every application respects this, or behaves as expected.
Terminal is a notable example; for Fn arrow to work as expected when coming from a Linux background, the settings must be changed.
Note 2: OS X by default has no Insert functionality, however it is respected in some situations being Virtual Machines, Bootcamp, other Remote Desktops. Notably it also works in Google Chrome extensions that expect the Insert key for some other functionality (other than overtyping, which does not exist in OS X). Be careful though, in text boxes, dialog boxes and the like, it will always act as an enter key.

In text editors such as TextEdit or Pages:
- Beginning of Wrapped Line (reposition cursor) is ⌘←
- End of Wrapped Line (reposition cursor) is ⌘→
- Beginning of Line (reposition cursor) is ⌃A
- End of Line (reposition cursor) is ⌃E
- Page Up (reposition cursor) is Fn⌥↑
- Page Down (reposition cursor) is Fn⌥↓ or ⌃V

I found that I need to use the Command + whatever arrow/directional key you need
ANSWER 4
Score 8
I have a 2011 Macbook Air. Fn with the arrow-keys did not work for me.
It seems that Command + Right Arrow is the equivalent of End.
