I just tried nethack and was first not able to open a .nethackrc file but came up running in nethack anyway. I was able to examine the screen some using control-option-shift with left and right arrows. That's good for one line but finding the rest of the stuff in a room can get interesting after that. I suspect but haven't yet tested that vi navigation command keys will be useful. It's possible the #quit and other similar commands will work too but I tried command-q because in other flavors of nethack alt-q can close a game. This time I closed the terminal and the game. All in all the screen was recognizeable as a nethack screen so I consider this to be a good start. I downloaded nethack with fink so if anyone else is interested in trying this out you now have my source.
