Thinking about this again you are probably right. Although most people
associate +quartz with the native Mac OS X environment in my opinion. As
I added gmpc I noticed that many ports have a different description for
+quartz and thought it would be good to have a single unique description
for this variant.

In this case, gmpc offers to use Mac OS X integration for the menu bar
which requires gtk2 +quartz, therefore I also named this variant +quartz
as it was most appropriate for me. So this cannot be only about the
library used for drawin widgets, but it is more. The +aqua variant
seemed inappropriate as it is still using gtk2 and not the native Cocoa
framework.
