I use a PC keyboard and Xfce.

  setxkbmap -option ctrl:swap_lalt_lctl
I change Cycle Windows to Ctrl+Tab in the Window Manager. I disable menu Alt keys where I can.

I use AutoKey for Terminal so that it works like Terminal in Mac OS X: Copy and paste and other Application shortcuts do not require using a shift key. Alt+C is the kill key (control-c) and all the rest of the Alt keys work like control keys in the terminal.

And yes, despite the non-trivial amount of tweaking and customization, I could never achieve the same level outside of Mac OS X.
