There are some recipes which include a `--with-emacs` flag or similar. IIRC 
these will usually assume that the installed elisp files should be 
byte-compiled with the emacs from homebrew, and this is broadly reasonable. 
Take a look at the existing recipes for more on how to do that.

Note, though, that OS X users get their Emacs apps from all over the place, and 
the byte code can be incompatible from one Emacs version to the next. 
Consequently, the *safest* place for a user to install elisp from is a package 
archive like MELPA, so that it is downloaded and byte-compiled from *within* 
the Emacs he actually uses.
