For older ubuntu/debian, installing emacs24 from source is relatively easy. I use the following to install emacs24 on vagrant boxes without X windows support. Works a champ.
# Obtain latest emacs from Savannah: http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/emacs-24.3.tar.gz
# Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libgif-dev libtiff-dev libncurses-dev -y
# Untar the archive:
tar xvfz emacs-24.3.tar.gz
cd emacs-24.3
# configure without x
./configure --without-x
make
sudo make install
