Yes, see
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/Shrink-Wrapping_Frames#AutoFitFrames.

You need libraries `fit-frame.el' and `autofit-frame.el' (which might be
included in Aquamacs), and you'll want to do this:

  (add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions 'fit-frame)

If you don't have the libraries, they are here:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/fit-frame.el

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/autofit-frame.el

However, you say that you have already tried `after-make-frame-hook'. Try
again, with the above versions of the files. And perhaps someone who uses
Aquamacs can speak to the Aquamacs problems you encountered.
