You got me hacking:

add the following to your .emacs:

(defun mac-services-remember ()
  "Remember the selection value for Services."
  (interactive)
(kill-new (x-selection-value mac-services-selection))
  (remember-clipboard))

(define-key mac-apple-event-map [services perform remember]
  'mac-services-remember)

and add the following to /Application/Emacs.app/Contents/Info.plist:
(Put it near the end of the file between a pair of </dict>\n<dict>)

               <dict>
                        <key>NSKeyEquivalent</key>
                        <dict/>
                        <key>NSMenuItem</key>
                        <dict>
                                <key>default</key>
                                <string>Emacs/Remember</string>
                        </dict>
                        <key>NSMessage</key>
                        <string>remember</string>
                        <key>NSPortName</key>
                        <string>Emacs</string>
                        <key>NSReturnTypes</key>
                        <array/>
                        <key>NSSendTypes</key>
                        <array>
                                <string>NSStringPboardType</string>
                        </array>
                </dict>

oh, and be careful to have ONLY ONE Info.plist corresponding to an Emacs.app
that you started. Otherwise, the Services menu might overwrite the one you
changed with the one you left as it were.

Otherwise, you can use Servicescrubber
http://www.petermaurer.de/nasi.php?section=servicescrubber 
to disable the unwanted Service menu entries.
