Not sure about AquaTK, but wxPython already does a pretty decent job of it!
=) You can even d/l and install it (along with the latest binary of
MachoPython) from here:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=10718&release_id=83146

I've been using wxPython for an app I've been working on, and despite one
Mac-specific bug, the app works the same on all three major platforms
(Windows/Mac/Linux) plus it uses the native look and feel of the platform
its running on (i.e. Aqua on OS X). I've been quite happy with it.
