As was already mentioned by Alberto, there are pre-built binaries. If
you don't want to use them, I've had great success using
[MacPorts](http://www.macports.org/). You will need to install the
developer tools, though. It's available in the optional installs
section of your Snow Leopard disk or as a download on the [Apple
Developer Site](http://developer.apple.com/) (for which you need a
free account, which has also already been mentioned.
I would recomend going with MacPorts as you not only get Emacs (`sudo
port install emacs-app`) but a wealth of other open source tools and
apps that I couldn't go without anymore.
