First, you might want to consider using vim instead of elvis. Vim is
more fully-featured (or more bloated, depending on how you feel about
it), is much more widely supported and available in not only an
X11-aware version but also as a Cocoa app.
Second, whenever you think "I wish I had UNIX/Linux tool X on my Mac",
you should reach for Fink (http://www.finkproject.org/) or MacPorts
(http://www.macports.org/). In this case, MacPorts has a port of
Elvis 2.2_0_2 for the Mac, so once you've installed MacPorts, just
type
$ sudo port install elvis
and when it's done you're ready to go.
