Yes, I see.  Obviously the issue is wider than OSX.

Yes.  This does it (for posterity):

(global-unset-key [cut])
(global-unset-key [copy])
(global-unset-key [paste])
(global-unset-key [f20])
(global-unset-key [f16])
(global-unset-key [f18])
(global-set-key [(alt x)] 'clipboard-kill-region)
(global-set-key [(alt c)] 'clipboard-kill-ring-save)
(global-set-key [(alt p)] 'clipboard-yank)

Thanks for your time.
