I also prefer OS X Lion's scrolling, and tried to get it to work in Ubuntu. The solution I tried was xmodmap, but it turned out that this isn't respected everywhere (notably, a bunch of GTK programs ignore this), which means that scrolling direction then depends on which window you're in, which is worse than nothing. :( For now, I've given up on Linux on the desktop. I even liked Unity, except for how slow it was, but after trying Windows 8 (first Windows since W95!), I've switched for desktop use. Maybe I'll swap out my Air for a Chromebook Pixel. ;)

I've never even used OSX Lion, but I still prefer "natural" scrolling. I just run a script on login that contains "xinput set-prop 13 303 -111 -111". Obviously, you'll have to find the numbers in your current xinput as to obtain the device and preserve your optimal scroll speed (My example was for a Lenovo W510). This reverses the scroll direction on my trackpad, but not on the scroll wheel of my physical mouse or my lenovo nipple mouse.
