Indeed. They can be changed back, however.
Paraphrasing my .emacs:

(cond ((eq window-system 'ns)
       (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)
       (setq mac-option-modifier 'none))
      ((and (eq window-system 'mac) (boundp 'aquamacs-version))
       (setq mac-command-modifier 'meta)
       (setq mac-option-modifier nil)))

Putting this in ~/.emacs should fix the problem, at least for two fairly
common emacsen. (I have no idea what is needed with carbon emacs, nor
even how to recognize that version from elisp.)
