That's not true.  Emacs can be built without X11 support if necessary:

    $ ldd `which emacs`
    /usr/local/bin/emacs:
            libutil.so.4 => /lib/libutil.so.4 (0x28168000)
            libncurses.so.5 => /lib/libncurses.so.5 (0x28174000)
            libm.so.2 => /lib/libm.so.2 (0x281b3000)
            libc.so.5 => /lib/libc.so.5 (0x281cd000)
    $

This version of Emacs has been built from the ports.  I've used WITHOUT_X11
on the command line to force Emacs to build without any X11 support.
