I think you will still have to compile gnuplot yourself to enable pdf
terminal support. I was always to lazy for that, so I just use
set terminal postscript eps enhanced color solid rounded
set output "plotname.eps"
and add one line to the end of my gnuplot scripts:
!epstopdf plotname.eps && rm plotname.eps
That will give you nice, compact PDF plots with far less hassle.
(epstopdf is included in the package "tetex-bin")

You can do this without the temporary file, since gnuplot supports pipes:
set terminal postscript
set output "| ps2pdf - file.pdf"
