The currently available Inkscape package for OS X has been compiled with the X11-backend of the GTK+ toolkit - for such X11-based applications, the "system clipboard" of the application _is_ the one from X11 server (aka XQuartz).

Things will change once Inkscape packages are available which are compiled with the native Quartz-backend of the GTK+ toolkit (no more X11/XQuartz required). Currently, with experimental builds, the clipboard support and exchange with other native applications isn't working 100% in both directions yet either, which is mostly an upstream issue in the toolkit and (AFAIU) not an issue of the individual application either.
