Cromagnonman, I have done some minor editing on the region files. Without ExMap it will be extremely difficult, if not impossible, to change adjacencies.
Without ExMap, you can sometimes add jumplinks and translinks. You can change the positioning of icons within a region, either by editing the region file or using Regionsprite in the game (the latter is often easier). I've changed port entry points for a region, but that's about as fancy as I've gotten. You can change the terrain type. You could probably edit the existing bitmap content for a region without changing its dimensions or shape. As soon as you start trying to redraw the lines, you'll need ExMap and then you'll probably have to get in line. I can't even get it to run on my PC, although I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong.
There are at least a couple of dozen maps changes I'd like that would require redrawing things, but I'm having to live with it.
