The Macintosh end of uw (Unix Windows) has an option to make the option key
a meta-key.  I haven't gotten it to work (with Jove 4.9), but haven't tried
too hard.  uw should run on a 128K Mac, which you should be able to get used
real cheap.

uw was posted to sources.unix awhile ago and is insanely great and free. Its
ansi mode seems not to clear too well, though (I re-bind ^L to clear and
redraw, and have to use it alot.)
