Nonsense.  If you want Emacs, you want Emacs, not some poor imitation.
This has nothing to do with whether the machine is ``stripped down''
or not.

The answer to the original question is that the package is built with
X support because that's what most people want.  If you build your own
Emacs from the port, it will automatically take notice of whether you
have X installed or not and take appropriate measures.
