Well, it's not true that Mac keyboards in general lack a right-Control key.  I'm using an Apple keyboard with one right now.

But, anyway, there is not currently any way to simulate one via software in the Mac driver.  There's a slim chance that fn-Control would do that at the hardware or OS level.  There are third-party programs that allow you to remap keys.  A quick web search turns up Karabiner <https://pqrs.org/osx/karabiner/>, but I can't vouch for it.
