I'm not familiar with emacs, but your question reads like
you want to visually select some text, yank it to a register
and source it.
If you yank it with just 'y' you will use the " register.
To source that type:
:@"
To read more:
:help :@
BTW, if each line of the text you are yanking starts with a
':', you can just execute the contents of the register with
the normal command '@"' (assuming the " register).
