There are also the X11 clients/variants. And MacPorts offers a rather
up-to-date X11 windows system. Which also has a built-in utility to
exchange text selections between the X11 and the Aqua world. X11 also
offers to launch GNU Emacs on the Linux boxes and display them in the
local X server on the local display and control them via local
keyboard and mouse or trackpad.
The tabs you see in Aquamacs work also in Carbon, Terminal, or X11
variants. The tabs are generated by tabbar.el.

We have to expect it, otherwise we would be surprised.
