 From Terminal.app's menu select "Terminal" -> "Window Settings..."

Then from the drop down menu, choose "Keyboard" and check "Use option  
as meta key".  Then press "Use settings as Defaults".  elisp  
configuration for modifier keys only works for GUI based emacs.

I guess we really need some central repository of information for Mac  
OS X emacs users..  In the mean time, you might want to refer to  
http://www.macosxhints.com
