I've solved the whole e-macs/X11 problem quite neatly by simply
using vim. emacs is just vim for beginners ;-)

I know it is a joke but I still missing the point of all this thread:
what is supposed to be the problem with emacs and X11? If you do not
have X11 environment available emacs launches within the terminal and
Apple cannot but build it without X11 otherwise it should force X11
installation.
If you subsequently install X11 - because you use the MAc as a BSD Unix
platform - then you may compile emacs with X support and it will launch
in its own window. IF, with the same supporting X11 emacs build you'd
happen to want it in the terminal window (no autonomous windows per se)
simply launch it as 'emacs -nw' .
What is again the problem? Space? 10 MB.
Cheers
