I think it's just warning that the packages were compiled for 6.0, while the running system is 6.0.1. In principle/general that could be important, but it is also a typical message in these situations and things usually work fine. My assumption is that if there really were a problem due to the OS version mis-match that they would produce separate binaries for the newer version.

It might have been better, as a test, to install some small package with no dependencies, rather than emacs. You might want to look under
/var/db/pkg/ and see if there is anything there that you don't want due to the emacs install attempt.
