Thanks for answering and the suggestion.

I do have ncurses installed.  But finally got around the problem by
installing emacs using the csw (http://www.opencsw.org/)
tools. Instead of the default IPS (Imaging Packaging System)
intall/remove tools.

Sort of like building a different partial OS over on one side, so may
be some duplication... but seemed like a good chance to get a modern
functional emacs running... it installed emacs-24.3 and seems to be in
working order.
