I had no luck building emacs using `make' with the mk.conf option

   PKG_OPTIONS.emacs=      svg xaw

The builds in other packages would fail, too.  Starting from scratch on
11 beta and using `bmake' , I've consistently been able to build and
install to completion.  I use

   $ bmake fetch-list | sh
   $ bmake package
   $ pkg_add /path/to/packge/file
   $ bmake clean ; bmake clean-depends

I wasn't aware of bmake and tried without success using make and gmake.

Would be nice for the binary distribution of pkgsrc-2025Q3 to include
emacs with svg and xaw.  The xaw option allows emacs to run in daemon
mode.  When the color scheme is unable to present legible contrasting
colors for text under X11, I rely on emacsclient on console with tty
colors turned off to read the text.  This is the emacs lisp function to
turn off color

   (defun x/tty-color-mode-no ()
     "Disable color in TTY."
     (interactive)
     (set-frame-parameter nil 'tty-color-mode 'no))
