That's not the X client, that's the NextStep port.

The X client installs as /opt/local/bin/emacs-27.0.50

The title says "emacs-devel is now of version 27.0.50", and this emacs is the TUI version, which is the result of port install emacs-devel, which comes from

if {$subport eq "emacs-devel" || $subport eq "emacs-app-devel"} {
    epoch           1
    version         20191120

    fetch.type      git
    git.url         http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs.git
    git.branch      c928f41330ece779127a0c4c9b6ca0fdde8a1046

    pre-configure {
        system -W ${worksrcpath} "sh ./autogen.sh"
    }

    configure.args-append  --with-json
    depends_lib-append     port:jansson

    livecheck.type none
}

Did you type port install emacs and saw emacs-devel installed?

Yes, I know. Therefore, for X11, I added that line:

The X client installs as /opt/local/bin/emacs-27.0.50

Did you type port install emacs and saw emacs-devel installed?

No.

Well then, what command did you type? I can't reproduce what you saw.

It was port -vd upgrade outdated. emacs-app-devel and emacs-devel where among the set out outdated ports. Their source code comes directly from a GIT repository. Since this happened for the first time the version of GNU Emacs has changed from 26.x to 27.0.50. See:

pete 184 /\ grep -in version `port file emacs-devel`
59:    xinstall -d ${destroot}${prefix}/share/emacs/${version}/leim
76:    version         26.3
92:    version         20191120

Nevertheless the architecture specific ELisp files go into /opt/local/share/emacs/27.0.50:

pete 186 /\ l /opt/local/share/emacs/
total 0
drwxr-xr-x  5 root  wheel  170  8 Dez 11:51 27.0.50
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  admin  578  8 Dez 11:51 site-lisp

I still don't understand what the problem is. What's the output of port installed ?

The problem is that in Portfile an old and now outdated version of GNU Emacs is recorded.

I don't understand this issue either. I think you are misunderstanding the Portfile, which is shared between emacs and emacs-devel.

The emacs subport installs 26.3, the latest stable version. That is what the version line you are seeing refers to. The emacs-devel subport installs a git release from 20191120, which, yes, identifies itself as 27.0.50.

Exactly this was my problem, I did not see that four ports share the same Portfile. My report was non-sense.
