I advise against reimplementing the machinery that is already there (and was painfully tested).
Calling (TeX-command  "Jump To PDF" 'TeX-master-file) should work just fine, however, and rebinding C-c C-v is safe, of course.  (I guess that's what you wanted.)

There is better way to do this, though, via AUCTeX's customization.  Change `TeX-command-list'  to reassign the "View" entry to exactly what is shown for the "Jump to PDF" entry.  This is the intended way to customize this the way you want.

I think in Aquamacs 2.x we can change the behavior and perhaps create a SyncTeX/Skim minor mode (with menu entry) that will do the right thing and call Skim when the "View" command is executed.  The menu item would be grayed out (and the mode not functional) if Skim is not installed.  By default, the minor mode would be turned on.
That's all pretty easy to do - would you be able to write a patch?
