I have Gnuplot 4.4 from the OS X bundle extras folder running on 10.7.2 - seems 
to work ok with aquaterm.  Did you move it to your Applications folder, or just 
leave it in the Extras folder? - the former is correct.
You should be able to do:
>gnuplot
# gnuplot splash opens
>plot(sin(x))
#aquaterm opens and plots a sine wave.
