I think I threw in too many distracting details. What I'm saying here
is that when I specify USE_EMACS in the Makefile for a port, it should
detect if X11 is disabled and select the correct emacs-nox11 port as
the dependency automatically.
One precedent for this is the USE_GHOSTSCRIPT knob. If that is
specified in a port, it automatically chooses the -nox11 slave port
for ghostscript if WITHOUT_X11 is set.
Since emacs has a -nox11 slave port, I believe it should work in the
same way for consistency.
