There are Linux shared libraries. But you need native.

emacs just compiled with X11 support. You need X11 libraries even if you
run emacs in console. Just another reason for rebuilding.

I think ports is better. Others may think packages are better. Only one thing 
I can say, when I have used (and on some PC's still use) various 
Linux distros, my /usr/local grows bigger and bigger just because I 
don't like RPMS/SRPMS dpkg slp and Slackware .tgz so I used source.
But with excelent ports system in FreeBSD sources work even better :-)
