Get  1.1.0 as 1.0.1 does not work with 10.6

http://sourceforge.net/projects/aquaterm/files/AquaTerm/

If you compile gnuplot 4.4.3
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gnuplot/files/gnuplot/
after you install AT 1.1.0 the default terminal will be aqua

Alternatively you can get a binary with Octave 3.4.0

http://sourceforge.net/projects/octave/files/Octave%20MacOSX%20Binary/

but it will use X11 (aqua will not be available). But X11 is also very decent.

PS As gnuplot needed for extended features in pgf/tikz it is not exactly OT
