Emacs has to be either compiled with X support (in which case it links with the X libraries and won't run without them, although this configuration will work fine without an X server), or without any X support at all. If you don't have X, install emacs from the port rather than the package. This means you'll need to install the ports system (or at least parts of it) and the emacs source tarball, but that's still probably easier than installing X.
