Thinking about this again you are probably right. Although most people associate +quartz with the native Mac OS X environment in my opinion. As I added gmpc I noticed that many ports have a different description for +quartz and thought it would be good to have a single unique description for this variant. In this case, gmpc offers to use Mac OS X integration for the menu bar which requires gtk2 +quartz, therefore I also named this variant +quartz as it was most appropriate for me. So this cannot be only about the library used for drawin widgets, but it is more. The +aqua variant seemed inappropriate as it is still using gtk2 and not the native Cocoa framework.
