This depends on the distribution you're using. We have put together a distro that lets you use the same keyboard shortcuts that are standard on the Mac: http://aquamacs.org It comes with a number of customizations, but the underlying platform is an up-to-date GNU Emacs. You can just copy & paste text over from another application with Command-C, Command-V as usual.
