Yes, but watch out. Unless things have changed since I last looked,
Gnu software installed by default on Apple (it's not only Emacs, but
also among many things, bash) tends to be somewhat... seasoned.
I had the impression that they stopped updating things whenever they
moved to GPLV3 (Steve Jobs's ghost or whatever?).
