Well, I looked into it further, and apparently Unity programs can't be used as screensavers. Unity can't show its output on any screen other than its own, so the little Preview window in the Windows Screensaver Settings won't work. Mac has its own issues also, but if I can't do it in Windows, there's no reason to do it for the small Mac audience. This is especially disappointing for me, since I've been studying Unity for months and it looked like all kinds of new features would be possible in the Aquarium.  
It's not a simple thing to use, but this guy wrote a package so you can build Unity projects as a screen saver. You end up with two programs, one is a legit Windows screen saver that follows all the rules of a screen saver. Then it hands off the job to your Unity app.

Detailed discussion about it:
