You can install whichever GNU or Carbon or other Emacs you want! The  
X11 version (22.3, for example from Fink, or 23.0.60 from CVS) can  
run inside Terminal when invoked with -nw or --no-window-system. When  
you install a Carbon version (Carbon Emacs or Aquamacs Emacs) you can  
launch the proper binary inside the application bundle – Xah already  
mentioned this. The same mechanism also works with the Aqua or Cocoa  
version, Emacs.app, from CVS (version 23.0.60).

You should not try to substitute Apple software.
