Not familiar w/ emacsports, will take a look at it this weekend. My
problem w/ the homebrew install (and i'm a homebrew fan) is that
i prefer the "all-in-one" (--with-ns) package and not having the app
spread around /usr/local in unix fashion the way the homebrew install
works.

Personally, i used homebrew to install the build dependencies
(autoconf, automake, imagemagick, etc) and the git mirror of the emacs
trunk (http://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs.git) YMMV.
