On a Mac the proper commands are Commad-C for copy and Command-V for 
paste (not control).
The default mapping has the Windows ALT key mapped to the Macintosh 
Command key (this is where it appears physically on mac keyboards).

One caveat: If the OSXvnc server is running as a StartupItem (loaded as 
a daemon at boot time) it will NOT have access to the current user's 
pasteboard, this is an Apple security restriction.
If it's running in Application mode then it will work just fine.
