Dear Ken,
you could start with an Emacs-typical approach by editing your ~/.emacs-file so
that .org-files are automatically opened with org-mode, also adding any other
keyboard shortcuts you find useful, see
http://orgmode.org/guide/Activation.html#Activation
If you put this line into your .bashrc file:
alias e="open -a /Applications/Aquamacs.app/"
you can do this from the commandline:
e somefile.org
and it will be opened in Aquamacs (using an existing instance of Aquamacs if it
is already open - I find that I have Aquamacs open all the time).
One way of changing the icon is to copy Aquamacs.app, then using an icon editor
(e.g. the one from the Apple's Developer Kit). A simpler way is this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2493
If you are thinking about a distribution-like approach (so it works
"out-of-the-box" for others) you would probably need to copy your changes to a
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp
directory.
Hope this helps,
Stefan
