You can do a lightweight checkout:
bzr checkout -v --lightweight http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs/trunk trunk
This takes less than 5min. on my system, fetching roughly 80-90MB of data.
If you don't need any history at all, you can simply get a tar.gz snapshot
from the git mirror:
http://repo.or.cz/w/emacs.git
