There is no sense in wiping Apple's old Emacs. It's part of the OS

/Library/Application\ Support/Emacs is meant to contain local  
additions, like for example AUCTeX (not the application). The Carbon  
Emacsen and other variants can be created as a "light" application  
bundle, one that does not contain the whole ELisp trees. I did it by  
first making the bootstrap target for an X client Emacs. Then I made  
the light application bundle (mac/make-package does this job somehow  
by using the proper configure options), just a simple make. This  
process creates a PKG file inside a DMG archive. Open and install. It  
installs a /usr/local/bin/emacs that does not seem to work, so the X  
client is made again (plain, no bootstrap), which easily works  
because its configuration was not changed since bootstrapping it.  
Then install this one. You'll have the X client /usr/local/bin/emacs  
and the Carbon /Applications/Emacs.app.
