Try

In particular, you want these options

For example:

> $ /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Aquamacs +3:15 ~/.emacs

Note that this will open a new instance of Aquamacs, even if one is
already running.  You may want to use emacsclient instead if you generally
have an emacs session already running and want to open the file in the
existing session.  See
> $ /Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient --help
for emacsclient usage.
