The first question I'll ask is "is aspell in your shell's path"?  If
it is, great.  If not, then you should adjust your shell's PATH
accordingly.

If aspell is in your shell's path, then try starting Emacs.app like
this:

    open /Applications/Emacs.app

(assuming that you've put Emacs.app in /Applications).

When you start emacs this way, it will inherit your shell's
environment.  Whatever is in your shell's PATH will also be in Emacs'
PATH.

If you prefer to start emacs by double-clicking (rather than using
`open'), then you can try setting PATH using an environment.plist.
