You shouldn't have to do that.

Ah, there's the problem -- you're starting up GNU Emacs, not Aquamacs  
Emacs, which resides at "/Applications/Aquamacs Emacs.app/Contents/ 
MacOS/Emacs".  That's why you're having to load Preferences.el  
manually: at startup, GNU Emacs looks for a file called ".emacs" in  
your home dir.  So apparently you've installed them both.  Go to  
your /Applications directory and drag the "Aquamacs Emacs.app" icon  
onto your Dock and start it from there.  Aquamacs Emacs will find  
your Preferences.el file at startup.
