Ok, I decided to nuke ports, fink, and delete every package they ever
installed. I successfully installed emacs 23.2 via homebrew (there's a
good overview of homebrew here 
http://ascarter.net/2010/02/22/homebrew-for-os-x.html).

I started the emacs it installed, but I didn't know how to access the
scratch buffer, so I started the tutorial. Exit worked (C-x C-c).
Scroll forward did not (C-v). Needless to say, I couldn't complete the
elpa instructions. Additionally, emacs pops up a new colorful window
but keeps the terminal in place. That's not the behavior I personally
want. Perhaps I will try installing without the --cocoa option.

Also tried the elpa self-install script in Aquamacs (where the scratch
buffer comes up first thing), but C-j (the 'eval' keystroke) had no
discernible effect. I tried M-x package-list-packages but it said [No
Match]. So I assume nothing happened.

Sorry to say but I'm rather annoyed with emacs. I find futzing around
with package managers and this stuff to be utterly exhausting.
