The binary packages get built with default values for variables (from
bsd.pkg.defaults.mk). In the case of emacs, this includes X support.

If you want to have a non-X emacs, you'll have to build it yourself,
with
	EMACS_USE_X=no
in your /etc/mk.conf set.

It seems pkg_add doesn't check the dependency on X, currently.
