I used QuicKeys to change focus to Emacs and then invoke the org- 
remember key binding.  It can also be done with Applescript, using GUI  
Scripting.  The script would look something along the lines of:

   tell application "Emacs" to activate

   tell application "System Events"
	tell process "Emacs"
		tell front window
			keystroke "c" using {control down}
			keystroke "r" using {control down}
		end tell
	end tell
   end tell

This switches to Emacs and invokes C-c C-r.  Change to suit your  
taste.  You'll need to run AppleScript Utility.app, and check "Enable  
GUI Scripting" for this to work.

You can bind this Applescript to global hotkey using the free  
application "FastScripts Lite".

Good luck!
