I'm presently using Macports to build Aquaterm and Gnuplot.  I've built both 
manually in the past.  My (maybe poor) recollection is that Gnuplot will detect 
the Aquaterm libs if they are present and link to them.  So it may be enough to 
just build and install Aquaterm and then build and install Gnuplot.

In any event, you can change the gnuplot terminal Octave asks Gnuplot to use by 
setting the GNUTERM environment variable.  For example, just type "setenv 
GNUTERM x11" before generating any plots.  If you don't have x11 installed, 
they use a terminal corresponding to something your gnuplot installation does 
support.
