This question has an easy answer:  Alpha (shareware) is an excellent
emacs- clone/workalike.  The current version 5.04 is available on
cs.rice.edu in /public/Alpha.  It's got most of the same features
that make emacs addictive;  it's fully programmable through its 
embedded implementation of "tcl" and has with grep-like search/replace
built-in.  For $25 shareware, it's possibly the best buy in Mac software.
