Yes.  Aquamacs, like most Mac OS X applications, isn't launched from  
the same shell environment as a Terminal window, so it won't pay much  
attention to the startup files in your home directory.

If you add /usr/local/bin to the path strings in /etc/profile and / 
etc/csh.login, Aquamacs shouldn't need more prodding to find sbcl.

Another option would be to set the CM_RUNTIME variable in your cm  
startup script:

${CM_RUNTIME:=/usr/local/bin/sbcl}

CM will then use sbcl by default, finding it with or without Emacs.
