Oops, you're right, it doesn't.  Ctl-y should work though.

It _is_ possible to a limited extent to get Mac-like behavior with the 
command key.  You can do this by making command be alt (and option be 
meta), and then binding cut&paste functions to alt-v, alt-x, alt-c etc.  
But this is in some ways worse than nothing, since it behaves a little 
like MacOS but not that much.  Better just to put your emacs hat on when 
you run emacs and forget about the underlying platform altogether...
