Hi, about the status of Emacs on the Mac:
If you want to compile it yourself, you'll probably have to use a
snapshot from CVS. DarwinPorts or Fink (in the unstable section) have
them. If you want more, you can check
http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=emacs and: "make bootstrap" is the
command to build this Emacs. And don't give gcc too much switches for
the first try. In this software there is a top directory mac with a
script, make-package, that meanwhile might be able to create an
installer package (.pkg inside a .dmg). When I tried it a few days ago
it did not work for me because some minor things were not set, but I
reported this issue.
If you can live without compilation, you could try this:
- Seiji Zenitani's Carbon build with transparency (version 21.3.50.1,
CVS 20050201)
<http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/unix_open_source/
carbonemacspackage.html>
<http://home.att.ne.jp/alpha/z123/emacs-mac-e.html>
This might be useful too, particularly the tweaks, I did not try yet:

Around last Christmas I published there Elisp files with fontsets for
the Carbon and the X11 personality of GNU Emacs -- but beware: your
system might be missing some fonts! To retrieve the lists of knows
fonts try in both: M-x set-frame-font RET TAB TAB and save the
*Completions* buffers.
My entry into the diverse personalities is like this:
(cond ((= 21 emacs-major-version)
(progn
(cond ((string= "x" window-system)
(message "Sind in X11")
(load "~/.emacs_X11")
)) ; Ende X11
(cond ((string= "mac" window-system)
(message "Sind in Aqua")
(load "~/.emacs_Carbon")
))
(cond ((string= 'nil window-system)
; (progn
(message "Sind im Terminal")
(load "~/.emacs_nil")
));) ; Ende Terminal
(cond ((= 2 emacs-minor-version)
(message "Apple's GNU Emacs")
(load "~/.emacs_Apple")
));Version 21.1.30.3
)));Version 21
Emacs from CVS is 22.0.50. GNU Emacs 21.4 is "only" a release to fix a
security hole, so most of its code was not coming from CVS ...
