Found the answer to this in the Fink documentation -
the key is to set the XDarwin preferences to map the
middle button!
8.3 Copy and Paste
Copy and Paste generally works between the Aqua and
X11 environments. There are still some bugs. Emacs is
reported to be picky about the current selection. Copy
and paste from Classic to X11 doesn't work.
Anyway, the trick is to use the respective methods of
the environment you're in. To transfer text from Aqua
to X11, use Cmd-C in Aqua, then bring the destination
window to the front and use the "middle mouse button",
i.e. Option-click on a single-button mouse (this can
be configured under XDarwin's Preferences), to paste.
To transfer text from X11 to Aqua, simply select the
text with the mouse in X11, then use Cmd-V in Aqua to
paste it.
