You shouldn't guess that much, but read a bit:

mac-command-key-is-meta's value is t

	Non-nil means that the command key is used as the Emacs meta key.
	Otherwise the option key is used.

In your situation the alt or the option key ⌥ is free create all the 
special glyphs of your Mac's keyboard. These can be meaningful too:

	(set-language-environment		'German)
	(setq file-name-coding-system	'utf-8)
	(setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac-roman-unix)
	(set-default-coding-systems		'mac-roman-unix)
	(set-keyboard-coding-system		'mac-roman)
	(prefer-coding-system			'mac-roman-unix)
