 It works for me (TM):
 
 % ldd /usr/pkg/bin/emacs
 /usr/pkg/bin/emacs:
         -lXaw7.7 => /usr/pkg/lib/libXaw7.so.7
             :
 
 That's emacs20 with pkgsrc libXaw-1.0.7. However, that's not on Linux.
 Perhaps the configure script is examining your /usr/X11R6, but the
 build is using the buildlinked pkgsrc libs?

 What's it crashing on? If it's using mixed versions of X libraries (as
 point (1) suggests it may be) core dumping isn't particularly a
 surprise.
