Use the ports!  emacs is /usr/ports/editors.  man 7 ports will tell you more
about the ports collection, which is one of the very nice features about
FreeBSD.  

If you have the ports collection installed, all you need to do is, as root,
cd /usr/ports/editors/emacs
make
make install
If you have the CDs, mount CD 3 as /cdrom and the make process will look
there for the source.  If you don't expect to wait a while for the source to
be down loaded.l
