JOVE (Jonathan's Own Version of Emacs) is already available for the Mac.
Traditional keybound commands are integrated with the Mac menus, mouse,
and window tools, and the Mac sources are the same as the unix/pc sources.
The binary is available from sumex, and the sources were posted to
comp.sources.unix several weeks ago. The sources and binary are also
available from our system and several others.

As I have never used MicroEmacs, I cannot comment on the capability of
one editor vs. the other. I have been quite happy with Jove for some time
on the Mac, and will be adding additional features later this Summer.
