Then you must be talking about ticket 14446, as ticket 14344 has a  
diff attached, not a complete Portfile.

The notes in ticket 14446 say a new variant "emacs_app" was added.  
So, if you want to auctex use emacs-app instead of emacs, you should  
select the emacs_app variant:

sudo port install auctex +emacs_app
