The nearest equivalent in MacOSX is Command-Option-Escape, which
brings up the force-quit dialog. I don't know how deep down in
the system it's implemented.

It's possible to use SetSystemUIMode to put an app into a "kiosk
mode" where force-quitting is disabled, but I don't know whether
the app can intercept Command-Option-Escape in that situation and
do something else with it.
