Are you referring to XDarwin or the X11 package from Apple ?
XDarwin has a global preference to set the keyboard layout, but it
needs to be restarted to take effect.
AFAIK Apple's X11 need a command line option to speficy the keyboard
layout. Both X server can't change their layout from the main OS X
menu bar.
If you want to change your keyboard dynamically (ie without restarting
X) on Mac OS X, you can use xmodmap(1). Appended below is set of
xmodmap commands to set up an french layout keyboard. For more
information see the xmodmap manual page.
