/Applications/Amaya.app/Contents/MacOS/amaya  /path/to/filename

works, and gives you OpenGL status in the terminal

/Applications/Amaya.app/Contents/MacOS/Amaya-9.3/doc/WX/Configure.html 

   Amaya uses a number of default directories 
   to store configuration information.          :-(

~/.amaya/thot.rc: Contains the user preferences, 
    changed through the Preferences submenus
~/.amaya/amaya.kb-mac: Defines Amaya keyboard shortcuts.
    ...Amaya-9.3/doc/WX/ShortCuts.html
    seems to say you massage this by hand
~/.amaya/amaya.css: Contains the user's style sheet.

And once Amaya is launched you should be able to drop an html doc or url into 
Amaya's window and have it opened/rendered. It's only in the last couple of 
years I've noticed MacOS-X OSS apps starting to include these features, so I 
hardly missed it. But you're wanting the best of both worlds? A fully 
functioning CommandLineInterface and Drag'n'Drop ;-)
