I use the following to integrate the OS X clipboard into Emacs:

(setq interprogram-cut-function 'paste-to-osx
      interprogram-paste-function 'copy-from-osx)

(defun copy-from-osx ()
  (let ((coding-system-for-read 'utf-8))
    (shell-command-to-string "pbpaste")))

(defun paste-to-osx (text &optional push)
  (let ((process-connection-type nil))
    (let ((proc (start-process "pbcopy" "*Messages*" "pbcopy")))
      (set-process-sentinel proc 'ignore) ;; stifle noise in *Messages*
      (process-send-string proc text)
      (process-send-eof proc)))
  text)
