Seems like modding a PS/2 keyboard to AT/DIN (5 pins) are not so difficult, I am willing to sacrifice a generic cheapo PS/2 keyboard to use directly on a Socket 7 motherboard.

However finding a male DIN port seems more difficult on online stores in my country, most of them are audio-related, such as these.

Would these male plugs fit on a normal AT socket?

They look quite big, compare to the usual DIN connectors I see on keyboards. So I will grab them tomorrow then.
