It does for me, using either the CRAN build or my own build.
See the code in src/library/grDevices/R/zzz.R

My guess is that you have the DISPLAY environment variable set, or set incorrectly.

know you can change it by, for example,
  Sys.setenv("R_INTERACTIVE_DEVICE" = "quartz")
in your .Rprofile

When I start up R (or at least 64-bit R) from the command line

If I type capabilities(), I get:

Given that "aqua" is available, why do I not get a quartz window?
(I can of course open such a window.)
