You want:

./configure --without-ns

I don't use it regularly, but I haven't seen any obvious problems with  
Emacs 23.1 (or the last six months of CVS) running in a terminal on OS  
X. Using `emacsclient -t' with a server running on NS also works fine  
for me. I definitely can't reproduce the drawing issues you mention.
