If only life was so simple...

Installing that package (as of about a month ago) gets one an ALPHA  
version of emacs.  Starting it up generates a warning about possible  
data loss!

If one wants a recent, relatively stable version of emacs that acts  
like a native Mac application the proper incantation is:

sudo port install emacs-devel +carbon
