If you're using mac/make-package, try using the --app-symlink option.
If you're using `make' try changing the line

  cd ${emacsapp}Contents/MacOS/; cp ../../../../src/emacs Emacs

in src/Makefile.in to

  cd ${emacsapp}Contents/MacOS/; ln ../../../../src/emacs Emacs

Also simply delete whichever executable you don't want.

This is not Mac specific.  Other people are better qualified to answer
it.  It has most likely been discussed many times before so please
search the archives for answers.
