Dear Theodore, As a suggestion from the un-knowledgeable, I use mc on a mac which also has missing keys. There are some workarounds, so as a long shot, this is taken from a mc tutorial I have on my personal website. The F key problem: Easiest fix for regular users - open System Preferences -> Keyboard, tick to use the F keys as normal function keys. Otherwise, use Ctrl-t in place of the insert key to select multiple files, and Esc - 1-0 in place of the F keys. Hope it helps in some small aspect.
