You can start in X11 mode always if you enter the command from X11 terminal:

% /Applications/Grass/grass61cvs.app/Contents/Resources/grass-6.1.cvs/grass61

grass61 is normal shell for starting. OSX-AQUA is ALWAYS disabled in this way.
You can make a sym link for grass61 file.

OSX-AQUA is only enabled from starting application if you start in 
"OS X" Menu Type, but you can select X11. The source code of starting 
application, in XCode (88 kb), is on my site:
http://wwwamb.bologna.enea.it/forgrass/download.htm

AQUA mode has one problem: the blank window linked to scroll problem 
in tcltkaqua (there is a workaround: make a clic on one bar on the 
window) but has many advantages for Mac users: Copy-Paste, 
Command-key, standard dialog to open/save file, menu up, etc. like 
other Mac Apps and an environment similar to Mac application. Many 
users use this one.

I call the X11 version the standard version because it's equal in all 
platforms and you can connect via X11 to Grass in remote and the AQUA 
version is the standalone version because it's specific for Mac and 
you can't connect to Aqua version via remote.

This start app is the fastest way to start Grass in Mac OS X.

Bye
