Easy, because there's a customization variable.

(setq auto-word-wrap-default-function 'turn-on-word-wrap)

in your Preferences.el, or you use a customization buffer to set this  
to `turn-on-word-wrap'.

The other solution posted will work, but it will not turn on soft word  
wrap, and it disables Aquamacs' ability to recognize files that should  
have auto-fill enabled.
