If you're using the "bash" shell (as I understand, bash isn't on an OS X system by default, you have to install it), you can get a fairly complete list by typing the tab key twice on a line all by itself.

For example, on a linux system, I did this:
$ [tab][tab]
Display all 2246 possibilities? (y or n)

If I typed "y", it would very quickly scroll a list of possible commands - I don't know of a way to capture it though, unless you used a telnet or ssh client that would log your connection...
