Fonts are available via a direct menu entry and a font panel just  
like in other Mac apps.

There is a whole customization system which you can reach via  
Aquamacs -> Preferences just like in any app. This is, however, not  
shown nicely in a dialog, with normal widgets.

To change that, it would take a mechanism to create preference  
dialogues automatically - because Emacs packages are free to add  
further preferences. That's technically doable, but probably a lot of  
work.
Ideally, it would be done with SWT or something similar, so the user  
interface would be portable, but would look and behave like in other  
apps.

A nice weekend project for an expert in Cocoa, Carbon or SWT.
