There might be two: Emacs.app, based on GNU Emacs 23.0.60, the  
Unicode Emacs, and GNU Emacs 23.0.60 as X client. Both can be  
compiled from source.

Leopard, Mac OS X 10.5, offers an up-to-date X server at least – and  
it must be based on X11R7.x, probably X11R7.2. X11 can have a real  
process environment that is inherited from the X server.

Emacs.app (http://emacs-app.sourceforge.net/) does not use Carbon,  
but Cocoa. It's still unfinished, it has no SVG support. There is a  
problem with preview-mode in AUCTeX. It does neither use htmlize-view  
nor mac-print for printing. Real α!

In the next few months its code will be integrated into CVS HEAD,  
i.e. the code of GNU Emacs 23.0.60, the development version of stable  
GNU Emacs. Since GNU Emacs 23.0.x does not support Carbon builds,  
it's likely that Emacs.app will become the native Mac OS X Emacs.  
Some Carbon Emacs developers are already working on code Emacs.app  
can use.
