Here is the contents of my NetHack Defaults file. Works for me:
# SCCS Id: @(#)NetHack Defaults 3.4 2002/03/15
# Copyright (c) 2002 by Dean Luick, Mark Modrall, and Kevin Hugo
# NetHack may be freely redistributed. See license for details.
#
# Default settings for the Macintosh port of NetHack.
# Lines beginning with a `#' character are "comments" and are
# ignored all the way to the end of the line. Using this
# method, some of the lines below have been disabled so you
# can see an example without having those options actually
# set. Remove the `#' character to "uncomment" the line and
# allow those options to take effect.
