Have you considered using Apple's Terminal.app? It works fine as an
xterm replacement and is easy to reconfigure for font size, colour,
etc.
Terminal.app is fine and dandy, but it falls short for a hardcore
readline user like me: I have M-d, M-backspace, M-f and M-b firmly
embedded in my fingers and brain, but every M-f in Terminal is really
Cmd-f of course, which is not what I want. Really annoying to have the
Find dialog open up whenever I try to go forward a word.

I do not think that KeyBindings are yet on the deprecation list:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/EventOverview/TextDefaultsBindings/chapter_9_section_2.html
I have a DefaultKeyBinding.dict in ~/Library/KeyBindings/ that uses
Emacs key bindings and works in any CoCoa application. I found the
original source at
http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/Cocoa Text System.html
The site has been updated since I first used it, but it shows some opf
the potential for making CoCoa applications use key bindings closer to
what readline expects.
That being said, I use Xterm, myself--compiled with the Toolbar compiled
in.
