I use the Apple-provided Vim on OS X with both Terminal and iTerm2. I have this 
in my ~/.vimrc:

" In visual mode, use Y to copy to system clipboard
vnoremap Y "*y

" In normal mode, do the same with the current line
nnoremap Y "*yy

So with a visual selection, I can use Y to copy to OS X’s clipboard (and 
without a selection, I can use it in normal mode to copy the current line 
likewise). I can confirm that it works -- I just opened my ~/.vimrc in Terminal 
and used Y to copy those lines so I could paste them here in Mail.
