Mac OS X's Terminal.app does not support mouse reporting. However MouseTerm is a SIMBL plugin that provides it with this feature. http://bitheap.org/mouseterm/

Install MouseTerm and put the following in your Emacs config file:

; enable mouse reporting for terminal emulators
(unless window-system
  (xterm-mouse-mode 1)
  (global-set-key [mouse-4] (lambda ()
                              (interactive)
                              (scroll-down 1)))
  (global-set-key [mouse-5] (lambda ()
                              (interactive)
                              (scroll-up 1))))
