No, the emacs port contains only the command line version of the  
stable release. For GUI windowing, you should install the emacs-devel  
port with the x11 variant:

port uninstall emacs
port install emacs-devel +x11

I believe that there were a lot of problems with 21.4 and X11 on Mac  
OS X, but the devel port contains a working version. See <http:// 
trac.macports.org/projects/macports/ticket/4210>.
