They might even work on Mac OS, though the modifier key needed might be

No, I tried all of these long ago.  There is basic consistency across
terminal emulators when using opt-arrow (control-arrow is a system key
binding that switches virtual desktops), and none of Terminal/iTerm/aterm
/xterm output any of those key sequences.

What key sequences does opt-left emit?  Is it some variation of "\e[1;MD"
for some value of "M"?

Maybe you can conditionalize readline so the default binding bound to 
backward-word
is opt-left on Mac and control-left otherwise.
