The problem I found with most terminal programs for OSX is they don't 
really handle the keyboard as a VT1xx or VT2xx.  The Escape sequences 
they send aren't correct for the extended keys (keypad, function keys, 
etc) so they can't be used to with a DEC editor on a remote system like 
a VAX.  The VT100/200 emulation in programs like NiftyTelnet work but 
it isn't a native program and the sources don't appear to be available. 
  The one OSX native program I found that works is "iTerm".  I've also 
tried remapping the keyboard following Apple's documentation for 10.2.4 
but some of the keys don't appear to remap.  If anyone wants the 
keyboard file I wrote to tinker with I'd be happy to send it to them.  
In theory a proper keyboard map should make even Terminal work 
correctly.
