I've never tried to build an x11-based version of emacs for MacOS; I
usually just build the NextStep version from the FSF distribution and use
native MacOS windows.
Having said that, I'm not sure about brew, but I don't think that macports
defaults to building a version of emacs that supports x11. It appears
that you need to specify that variant explicitly.
When using macports, did you try
port install --enforce-variants emacs+x11
or perhaps
port install --enforce-variants emacs+x11+gtk
On my MacOS 10.10.5 system macports lists these variants:
% port variants emacs
emacs has the variants:
dbus: Builds emacs with D-Bus support
gtk: Builds emacs as an X11 program with GTK+2 widgets
* requires x11
imagemagick: Use ImageMagick
* requires x11
motif: Builds emacs as an X11 program with Motif widgets
* requires x11
universal: Build for multiple architectures
x11: Builds emacs as a X11 program with Lucid widgets

Folks,
When I start emacs, it always starts in that same xterm rather than in its own
(X11) window.
I'm running Mac OS 10.12.3 on a 2016 MacBook Pro, XQuartz 2.7.9.
I've compiled multiple versions of Emacs (22, 23, 25, and 26), and they all act the same.
I've tried using both macports and brew, although neither seems to like the
"with-x" command line flag, but both compile it up just fine.
When in emacs, I type meta-x emacs-version, and I get the following:
GNU Emacs 25.1.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin16.4.0) of 2017-03-24
...I suspect that I've got an X setting incorrect, but I'm stumped; please let
me know if there's any other info I need to provide.
Thanks very much,
Tim
