Note: this is about OS X Tiger with an ancient X11 based of XFree86:
I am not sure how that used to work on Tiger. However the Xmodmap settings that are described in the FAQ should work. They allow to use the left alt key as alt (hence controlling Inkscape correctly) and the right one as mode switch (which allows to type special characters). At least, my Xmodmap is:
! Switch meta and control keycode 67 = Meta_L keycode 63 = Control_L keycode 71 = Control_R clear mod2 clear control add mod2 = Meta_L add control = Control_L Control_R
! Switch the left alt key to be alt ! and leave the other as Mode_switch, for accents keycode 66 = Alt_L
and this is how it works on my MacBook on 10.6.2.
