Emacs on our Suns can be invoked with a -u <username> flag
which means initialize with <username>'s .emacs file... so
maybe you can force it to use root's .emacs with:
emacs -u root
On our system I su'ed to root and emacs used root's .emacs. I
think the problem might be with your su rather than emacs.
