I have been trying to use macport’s installation by using sudo port install emacs +x11 on my laptop with mountain lion, but every time I open emacs in terminal, it opens in the terminal without any GUI. This also happens if I try to open emacs directly in an xquartz terminal session. Has anyone had any luck with installing the x11 version of emacs on mountain lion? And if so, how? Thank you!

Turns out apple cut the link between terminal and xquartz. If I open emacs in xterm, it will run just fine. I found this to be the case even when I was using terminal with an ssh server. Looks like apple’s terminal isn’t going to be all that helpful from here on out.
Edit; I’m not sure if it was an update to xQuartz, but the problem has been fixed. When I type in an x11 app into the normal terminal app, it will open xQuartz as normal.
