Congratulations! Funnily enough, just this evening I started on clean installing Lion on my own Mac Mini. Presumably you have the newest generation boxes with Lion already on. To answer your question, the thing to do is to open Keyboard Help (Ctrl+Option+K) and then just play with the display. If you aren't happy, press Esc to leave Keyboard Help, open VoiceOver Utility, go to the braille category, and look at each button and train it individually. I can't recall, off the top of my head, what the combinations are for iOS, but all the VO gestures with a trackpad and keyboard commands with a keyboard should be more-or-less identical, and the display should have two pairs of two thumb-keys for pan left/right and move up/down. This is clearly not going to be identical to iOS but if you want to change which keys are used for what you can do that in the braille learning mode for each key. I know for a fact that I found the default set a bit lacking in places - perhaps Apple hasn't unified them yet, or it's an earlier set than the one used by iOS.
