Aquaterm is actually not necessary to plot, even when using the
Gnuplot backend.
If you have X11 installed on your mac you can do
putenv ("GNUTERM", "x11")
plot (rand(10,2))
to switch gnuplot to the x11 terminal
and you can do
close all
putenv ("GNUTERM", "aqua")
plot (rand(10,2))
to switch back to Aquaterm

It's in the news file: typing "news" at the Octave prompt you get
(among many other useful info)
** New experimental OpenGL/FLTK based plotting system.
An experimental plotting system based on OpenGL and the FLTK
toolkit is now part of Octave. This backend is disabled by
default. You can switch to using it with the command
backend ("fltk")
for all future figures or for a particular figure with the command
backend (h, "fltk")
where "h" is a valid figure handle. Please note that this backend
does not yet support text objects. Obviously, this is a necessary
feature before it can be considered usable. We are looking for
volunteers to help implement this missing feature.
It is also in the inline manual in the "advanced plotting" section:
type
doc plotting
or
doc backend
c.
