I recommend Emacs. Now, the emacs that comes as a precompiled package
on the FreeBSD CD-ROM and FTP site will work without X windows but
needs the X windows shared libraries, so if you've installed those,
you can use it.
If you don't have the X windows shared libraries, then just download
the emacs sources and build it without X windows support. You should
have no trouble compiling it.
