I'd be happy to apply this change if you send the patch.

As to more general work on OSX,  at the moment development of the wxt
terminal seems far more active than aquaterm.   Not that it's currently
working all that well on OSX either ;-)  But from where I sit it seems
more likely that someone will get wxt working on OSX than that someone
will pick up further development of aquaterm.  

The dark horse in this race is continued development of the web-based
drivers, notably the canvas terminal.  At this point I think using the
canvas terminal to output to Safari or Opera may offer more features than
aquaterm does.
