Josi,

Emacs uses certain X libraries, which aren't part of the standard
distribution.  This isn't the only one you'll need, but Emacs will only
tell you the missing libraries one at a time.

You can either install the X binaries on your system, or find the
particular set of libraries on ftp.freebsd.org.

Regards,
Michael
