According to several help posts (for example), you used to be able to enable the option/alt key to act as a meta key. Can you no longer do that in Mavericks?

You can swap shift key with some other with key using KeyRemao4Macbook but I am not sure can swap with / .
To get Emacs on Windows to recognize something other than the Alt as the meta key is hard.
However, you can easily remap any keys on the Mac keyboard, including modifier keys, to be any other keys on the Windows keyboard via Fusion. I have my ⌘ key mapped to Ctrl on Windows. So one way to make the ⌘ key your meta key is to map ⌘ to Alt.
In Fusion 5, Select Virtual Machine -> Settings... -> Keyboard & Mouse. That will bring up a list of profiles you can select from, duplicate, and edit. Hopefully it's obvious from there; if not, consult the built-in help by clicking on the question mark on the lower right of the Keyboard & Mouse panel.
