ctrl-v should work in bill joe's original vi and its descendents.
There is "map!" which is roughly the equivalent of "imap" in vim.
Once you find out key sequences for those arrow keys, add map! into your
.exrc or $EXINIT string, eg.
map! ^[OA ^[ka " cursor up
map! ^[OB ^[ja " cursor down
map! ^[OC ^[la " cursor right
map! ^[OD ^[ha " cursor left
If you really cannot use ctrl-v on that machine, then edit the file
somewhere using vim and copy the file.
