I think they roughly match up.  Moving left from the space bar, on the Mac,
you have the "command" key, then the "alt / option" key, then the control key,
and then another key sometimes called control and other times called "fn" on
the laptop's keyboard.

I need to be careful though because I use emacs via VNC / X11.  I need
to experiment while at work to see how these keys map in that environment.
