I did the required changes already in a lab version of my QuaquaTableUI
class.
Here are the steps:
1. Override method createMouseInputListener of your TableUI class, to make
it create an instance of your own.
2. Create an inner MouseInputHandler class. Use the source of
BasicTableUI.MouseInputHandler as a guideline.
3. Change method shouldIgnore(MouseEvent) of this class, to return true, if
the mouse event is a popup trigger.
4. Change all method calls named isControlDown() on the mouse event to
isMetaDown().
And that's about it.
I intend to implement this for TableUI, ListUI and TreeUI for the next minor
update of the Quaqua Look and Feel.
(ListUI is a bit nasty, because BasicListUI has too many private instance
variables and methods to create a descent subclass of it.)
If you don't want to use the whole Quaqua Look and Feel, you can just
include QuaquaTableUI in your application.

Me, I would assume, that someone who uses a different LAF then Aqua on a
Mac, also is likely to use a multi-button mouse or even a mouse with a
scroll wheel.
At least, I would assume, that such a person is apt to figure out, how to
cope with a popup trigger mouse gesture that changes the selection of the
table.
Because up to now, that's how a worked with JTables that had a popup menu.
;)
