You can select multiple non-adjacent items in a multiple select using
Command-Click. It should be possible to do the same with the keyboard. In
Firefox Mac you can press space to select an item, then press Control-Up or
Control-Down to move through the options without losing your selection and
press space to select additional items. Apple Documentation does mention a way
to select multiple items with the VoiceOver cursor, but this doesn't seem to
work in HTML select boxes.

You can use the simple multiple select test case above to confirm this.
