On my system $ open -a Emacs.app ~/.profile does the intended: if Emacs is not running start an Emacs with a buffer containing ~/.profile. If Emacs is already running, simply open a buffer containing ~/.profile (and if a buffer containing ~/.profile is already open, switch the window to that buffer). I am using the Summer version, running on a G4 with only one Emacs installed (apart from the system, terminal based one). Since you have the same problem on an older system, I think you are right: the problem is local. Can you see anything in the logs (use /Applications/Utilities/Console) or in the *Messages* buffer?
