Piece by piece I've also put in /usr/local the emacs and epoch executables.
Upon invocation, however, emacs crashes and burns with
Fatal error (12).Bad system call.
[In case it matters I have SDS, Kernel Configuration, Core Base,
File Management, Spell Utilities installed.]

Sad to say, but Epoch won't run except under X-Windows, which you don't have
installed, so I suspect that Epoch (at least) is crashing because it is
doing some system call for X-windows, and failing. It's also possible that the
Emacs binary you have was compiled with X-windows support, and is failing
for the same reason.
