I still think the current solution should be made into an option like "[ ] Ctrl+click simulates right click" or something like that. At least until a proper solution has been found, either in Minecraft itself or LWJGL.
That way the track pad players have a workaround, even if it is flaky at best, and those who map a function to the Control key can completely disable it so that the keyboard functions as in Windows, Linux and most, if not all, other games under Mac OS.
Although Ctrl+click is still a standard in the OS itself and cannot be disabled, most applications and games override this behavior. Which, in my opinion, is a good thing.
Could this be made into an option please? It breaks keyboard mappings. For example, I'm a left-handed player who uses right-ctrl for sneaking.
A solution that has been working great for me is KeyRemap4MacBook. It allows you to remap keys and mouse buttons and supports multiple profiles that can be activated by a shortcut. So you can, for example, add a profile for Minecraft that remaps the Control key to F13.
I myself use it to remap the modifier keys on a PC keyboard to match the standard Mac layout.
I'm left handed and use the cursor keys for movement and my thumb on the right control key for crouching. The right control key on a PC keyboard is on the same location as the Option key on a Mac keyboard. Using KeyRemap4MacBook I remapped Control_R to Option_R which fixed the issue for me.
