What do you mean it steals focus "from the X client [you] gave it"?   
An X client only has focus if it's focused in the X server (X11.app)  
and the X server (X11.app) is focused in OSX.

I have no idea what you're talking about.  I think you may be confused  
by a focus-follows-mouse focus model (which is not enabled by default  
in X11.app... you're the one who chose blackbox... if you don't like  
it, nuke your ~/.xinitrc and use the normal startup).

If you want emacs to start every time you run X11.app, then do (just  
like you would on BSD/Solaris/Linux):

cat > ~/.xinitrc <<EOF
#!/bin/sh
emacs &
. /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
EOF
