I'm pretty sure the 'official' line on the numeric keypad issue is to purchase a separate USB keypad. Apple are big on reducing functionality to try to increase simplicity; sometimes they just go too far. For example, on OS X Tiger, they had 'power profiles' - when running on battery, you could select if you wanted maximum battery life, or maximum horsepower - with the release of Leopard and Snow Leopard, that functionality is gone.
I now have to use a 3rd party app called 'Caffeine' to stop my computer from sleeping when I use Stellarium next to my telescope.
