The emacs port install GNU Emacs; the xemacs port installs XEmacs. They are completely separate projects. Vim, on the other hand, is one project, and the GUI is part of it. There is no such thing as "xvim". (Also I believe the emacs port installs GNU Emacs *with a GUI*, the no-GUI version is at emacs-nox11).
