Does anyone know how I can place a circumflex above a lowercase italic p - as in the symbol used for a sample proportion. (command-i only appears to work with vowels). BTW I'm using a British keyboard/input.
Any ideas?

I think you mean option-i.
If such a character exists, you'll find it in the Character Palette. Whether or not there's a convenient keyboard shortcut for it is another issue.

You can type a p then go to Edit->Special Characters->View: Code Tables->Combining Diacritical Marks and double click the circumflex (0302).

Yeah - option-i, not command-i. Thanks. I've had a look in the Character Palette and there doesn't appear to be anything.
Anyone know of any fonts that can create a p with a circumflex?

Superb! Thanks for that.
Can anyone get this to work in Pages?

Works in Pages, but finding a font that correctly displays the circumflex in italics is tricky. Futura and Gill Sans did for me, but those are not really "math"-fonts. However keeping the circumflex in Lucida Grande normal non-italic and only changing the "p" to Georgia or Times italic looks good imo.

It's weird that only some fonts work in Pages compared to other applications. Thanks for the tip on combining fonts, I actually found that using my regular font (Bembo) with a circumflex in Optima (size 10) also works quite well.
Thanks for all your help.

If you're doing a lot of math typesetting, you should look into using LaTeX.
