Lars, Laurent, Peter, Bill, Jon, Tom, and Mike,
Many thanks -- I knew throwing this out to the community would quickly fix my problem, and I'm deeply grateful (I had spent _hours_ trying to figure this out before admitting defeat!).
The thing that worked for me was to simply use "port install emacs +x11 " -- et voila, emacs in my X session!
My only remaining question, if someone has a few idle moments: how would one use brew to do the same thing? (...our Big Company Overlords would prefer that we use brew over port; I have to use my phone as a hotspot to get around network lockdowns when using port! :-)
Thanks again,
Tim
