For those of you finding this in 2018, with tmux 2.6, you don't need the reattach-to-user-namespace gymnastics anymore. This is all I need with iTerm2 (3.1.5), tmux (2.6) and macOS High Sierra (10.13.2).
In iTerm 2 preferences, first tab "General", enable "Applications in terminal may access clipboard".
