Even if you succeed in running X server, it is very unstable. I don't know of anyone that uses it.
Emacs needs xlibs, so what I do is to use K5 ISO's xfree86 (4.1 AFAIR). But it's not straightforward and I can't describe it right now :-( And surely there are better ways with newer versions (4.3) but I haven't succeeded in installing them.
