XEmacs[1] is not 'Emacs with X11 support', but a very different editor.
The main GNU Emacs port (editors/emacs) does include support for X11,
and it's actually a lot more pleasant to use under X window.

Its name is certainly slightly confusing now that people have gotten
accustomed to all the 'foo' vs. 'xfoo' ports, but the XEmacs editor has
been around for a *long* time, so let's not confuse it for something
very different from what it is :)
