Hi, Mike.  I had the same problem.  I'm guessing that you installed  
Gnuplot from a .dmg (e.g., obtained from versiontracker).  I did the  
same and found that the tip given in the the link Matthias provided  
above worked.  However, I also found that I could avoid using that  
tip by installing Gnuplot 4.0 from source (upon Joe Koski's suggestion).

<http://gnuplot.sourceforge.net/>

Then there was no "library not loaded" error referencing libaquaterm. 
1.0.0.dylib.

BTW, to install Gnuplot from source, I found that I had to type the  
following.

    ./configure
    make CC=gcc-3.3
    sudo make install

I don't know if this was indeed necessary, but that was my experience.

Good luck.

---John.
