There's an important distinction between using it IN an icon, and using it AS an icon. You use both terms in the question here (and in the subject line), so I'm not sure which you're intending to do.
Using it AS the icon seems like a very bad idea. Both legally speaking, and just in general. Unless your app is somehow related to that key, or "command" in some way. If it's just a part of an icon is probably "ok" (i'm not a lawyer). But again, it would have to related to the app and not just because users know that symbol as being Mac-ish. If I felt like it really belonged in an icon, I would probably take the chance.
