Ports emacs and emacs-devel Question

[John Wiggins via macports-users]

Both ports are working beautifully for me from the most recent 11_arm64 builds,
and I am currently using emacs-devel.
From a standard XQuartz xterm neither emacs command opens a new window.

This is easily worked around with an alias such as
        alias xemacs="xterm -e emacs $*”
a shell script containing
        xterm -e emacs $@ &

However, I wonder if there is some Security configuration I need to tweak on my
Apple M1 MacOS 12.2.1 with XQuartz 2.8.0_beta3?

Thanks,
