It sure sounds like you've built an emacs without X11 support; that
would be the expected behavior for such a build. (Although ... double
check that you're actually calling the one you built, and not the
X11-less version that Apple supplies in /usr/bin.)
My notes about this indicate that the last time I built emacs on OS X,
I used
./configure --with-x --without-x-toolkit --without-toolkit-scroll-bars
--x-includes=/opt/X11/include --x-libraries=/opt/X11/lib --with-jpeg=no
--with-gif=no --with-tiff=no
Some of that is personal preference for an editor without so much eye
candy, but you definitely won't get an X-capable emacs without --with-x.
Also make sure you've installed XQuartz first, or /opt/X11 won't be
populated.
Aside from the configure options, "make" and "make install" goes as
per usual.
