The command line switch is -nw:

$ man emacs 2>/dev/null | col -b | grep -B1 -A4 -- -nw

       -nw     Tells  Emacs not to use its special interface to X.  If you use
               this switch when invoking Emacs from an xterm(1)  window,  dis-
               play  is  done  in  that window.  This must be the first option
               specified in the command line.

I don't know if there is anything you can put in your .emacs, sorry.
