No, it looks like the NS variant from the unpatched GNU Emacs 24.3.50 sources.
It will report on M-x emacs-version RET something like:
GNU Emacs 24.3.50 (i386-apple-darwin10.8.0, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of
2013-05-20 on …
**
The "AppKit Emacs", with a history as Carbon Emacs, will report something like
this:
GNU Emacs 23.4.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin10.8.0, Carbon Version 1.6.0
AppKit 1038.36) of 2012-09-11 on …

It should. But both Emacsen change the meaning of the alt, cmd, and maybe more
keys by default. With C-h k you can find out what alt-a and cmd-a are and you
can also look via Emacs -> Services from the menu bar at the services your
Emacs sees. The modifier keys I mentioned have, presumingly, names like
ns-alternate-modifier
This variable describes the behavior of the alternate or option
key.
ns-command-modifier
This variable describes the behavior of the command key.
ns-control-modifier
This variable describes the behavior of the control key.
ns-function-modifier
This variable describes the behavior of the function key (on
laptops).
ns-option-modifier
ns-right-alternate-modifier
This variable describes the behavior of the right alternate or
option key.
ns-right-command-modifier
This variable describes the behavior of the right command key.
ns-right-control-modifier
This variable describes the behavior of the right control key.
ns-right-option-modifier
Have you recorded your key combinations in System Preferences in a way that the
Emacs applications do have knowledge of them?
