The icons the application uses are in /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/Emacs.icns (possibly also /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/document.icns). There are additional files that provide information on the app for the OS:

	/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Info.plist
	/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/PkgInfo
	/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/English.lproj/InfoPlist.strings

I'm no expert either and presume that at least the application's name should be changed. Otherwise it might be possible that Launchservice takes the copy as the original.

When in doubt, use brute force.
