In Aquamacs, I have scrollbars turned off:
(scroll-bar-mode -1).
But when I do New Buffer in New Frame, i.e. ⌘-N, the new frame has a scrollbar. How do I make it so new frames have scrollbars off by default?

The following, which you can add to ~/.emacs or wherever your init script happens to live, should solve this problem by disabling scrollbars on newly created frames, immediately after they're created:
(add-hook 'after-make-frame-functions
'(lambda (frame)
(modify-frame-parameters frame
'((vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
(horizontal-scroll-bars . nil)))))
Works for me in Emacs 24.3 on both Linux and Darwin; Aquamacs is weird, so your mileage may vary, but I doubt it's weird enough to break this.

This worked! Do you know how I would add a line to disable Aquamacs' tabbar mode? I have
Show Tabsunchecked but every time I create a new window, Aquamacs turns it back on. I tried adding this line to your code above but it didn't help.(tabbar-mode nil nil (tabbar))– incandescentman – 2013-08-20T05:10:05.4801
@PeterSalazar Not as such;

It works for a while, until I start creating new frames and new tabs. – incandescentman – 2013-08-20T08:31:00.677
1@PeterSalazar I just grabbed a fresh copy of Aquamacs and fired it up to try this out; while I didn't make a systematic study, doing
M-x customize-group RET tabbar RETand setting 'Tabbar Mode' to 'Off' seems to have done the trick. The value oftabbar-modeafter I'd done so wasnil, so it's possible either(setq tabbar-mode nil)or just(tabbar-mode nil)will have the desired effect, but Customize may be partaking of special magic, too, and I'd thus recommend trying that route if you haven't already done so. – Aaron Miller – 2013-08-20T14:32:50.840
