No errors are on record for building editors/emacs according to
pointyhat/portsmon:

http://portsmon.freebsd.org/portoverview.py?category=editors&portname=emacs&wildcard=

Therefore I diagnose something specific to your system is broken.
Unfortunately your report is too lacking in detail to be able to say
anything useful that might help you to fix the problem.  We'd need to see

   * Your choice of options for the port (ie. 'make showconfig' output)

   * A complete build log showing the problem occurring. (ie  'make
     clean build' output)

   * The config.log from $WRKSRC showing what autoconf did.

That should give a fighting chance of being able to work out what's wrong.
