I've gotten the Carbon-based version built on CVS 'latest'. I found one
bug in the frame initialization code that was causing a crash, fixed it
and submitted a bug to the Emacs developers list.
The output of 'emacs --version' is
"GNU Emacs 23.0.50.1

So far I am having no problems using it.
Later,

Except they broke the carbon emacs by adding the "multi-tty" branch for the
next release, and aren't fixing it due to lack of talent. Apparently the
carbon port isn't important to them any more. :( So now we're stuck with
command-line (somewhat broken) and X11 (unsure, haven't tried that, since I
don't fire up X11 very often), or the 22.1 release only (the last working
carbon version).
If you're a mac developer, and appreciate emacs, please head over to the emacs
devel list and offer your services. The previous guy abandoned it.
