Thanks for the reply. Yes, I could install a different version of
emacs (and I just may do that at some point), but my original point is
that the pre-installed Apple /usr/bin/emacs claims to understand X11
(according to the "-help" information) but doesn't. This means
something is wrong with the way in which it was compiled. If it
doesn't understand X11, it shouldn't claim to in the "-help". If it
claims to, it should. End of issue.
If Apple's pre-installed emacs simply understood what it claims to
understand, then I wouldn't need to take up even more space on my disk
installing yet another copy of the program. :(

The original X11 emacs runs in a terminal window only. I didn't find
anything to make it open an X window. I then switched to fink Emacs
which runs perfectly and I am using it everyday.
You can try enhanced-carbon-emacs, which comes from CVS and it is
newer than fink emacs, and it has a bunch of features preloaded so
that it is supposedly more usable from the point of view of a mac
user. And you get all the precompiled sources of the enhancements, so
that you can make your fink emacs enhanced as well. And, as the name
says, it is not an X11 application, but a full fledged carbon
application.
