There does exist a version of GNU emacs (18.50) which comes distributed with
A/UX.  However, you can forget about official versions coming from FSF for
any apple equipment.

RMS is upset about Apple's lawsuits over "look and feel" issues, and is
boycotting Apple.  (He does have a point, Apple's position is pretty bogus).

Considering how difficult it is to get Emacs running under an unsupported
UNIX System V machine (I did it with Unixpc - emacs 18.51), I think it will
be a formidable effort to get it running under the finder.
Good luck.
