I would suggest you to use iTerm 2 and learn more about customizing it to your needs

It doesn't look like iTerm has a future, the most recent 0.x version will be two years old in september. iterm2.com perhaps? – Daniel Beck May 20 '11 at 10:39

As of Mac OS X Lion 10.7, Terminal will do this by default if you're using bash as your shell (which is the default).

You can set preferences to decide whether to have new tabs and/or windows open at the same directory as the current terminal:

Terminal > Preferences > Startup > New windows/tabs open with > Same Working Directory

This works by having your shell (or other programs) send an escape sequence to tell Terminal the current working directory. The code to do this is in the system-wide bash configuration file /etc/bashrc.

If you're using zsh, I've adapted and expanded the code for /etc/zshrc in my answer to Resume Zsh-Terminal (OS X Lion).
