Gnuserv for Mac OS X Emacs
The Emacs that I'm using on Mac OS X is a CVS HEAD of GNU Emacs 21.3.50??. This version can be built natively for Mac OS X and doesn't rely on X in order to run. I also wanted to use the gnuserv package that extends the Emacs server functionality. In particular it creates a new frame when you use gnuclient to edit a file, and gnuclient is my choice for setting the EDITOR and VISUAL environment variables.
When I built Emacs last week, I couldn't get gnuserv to work. Turns out gnuserv wasn't accepting connections because of its built in security. I played with the GNU_SECURE security method figuring that MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE authentication wouldn't work because I had built without X. I could set the GNU_SECURE environment variable from zsh and have gnuserv pickup the connections, but when I did it inside Emacs, I couldn't get it to work. So I decided to try MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE. Turns out all I had to do was:

That was enough to get gnuserv and gnuclient happily talking to each other.xauth add localhost:999 MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 0000000 (insert your hex key here) exit
I simulated gnuclient with a shell script something like:
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient -n --eval '(find-file-other-frame "'"$1"'")'
