I don't know if it makes sense trying to set up an identical
interface so it can (hopefully) be used transparently?

Perhaps something like this

(setq select-enable-clipboard nil)

(defun kill-ring-save-x (beg end &optional region)
  (interactive (list (mark) (point)
                     (prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg) ))
  (let ((select-enable-clipboard t))
    (if (called-interactively-p 'interactive)
        (call-interactively #'kill-ring-save)
      (kill-ring-save beg end region) )))

(global-set-key "\M-w" #'kill-ring-save-x)

?
