So I'm probably not understanding your question but don't you mean you  
are using the apple command key as meta?  Otherwise command-c, etc.  
would work as you expect.  Maybe you want to do this:

(setq mac-command-modifier 'meta) ; This is what you have now, right?   
Command key is meta.
(setq mac-option-modifier 'alt) ; This sets the option key to do what  
command normally does, i.e., now
                                 ; option-c, option-v, option-x do the  
clipboard stuff.

As a bonus (or not), here are some settings for conveniently using  
emacs's registers:
(global-set-key [(shift alt c)] 'copy-to-register)
(global-set-key [(shift alt v)] 'insert-register)
(global-set-key [(shift alt x)] (function (lambda (reg start end)  
(interactive "cCopy to register: \nr") (copy-to-register reg start end  
't))))
Do shift+option+c,v, or x to use a register (or shift+command+c,v or x  
for normal :-) folks).  You will be prompted for the register key to  
use (a-z,0-9).
