At least for x49gp, you want to download the source tree from sourceforge.com and look at README.QUICKSTART. That has instructions specific to OS X (install x11 then xcode, then grab gtk2 and pkgconfig). After that, it's the usual instructions in that file. x49gp most certainly has a state file which saves as it goes along, though at least on Linux there's no window decorations, which is why you need the terminal so you can go kill it with Control-C to stop it. There's also instructions on how to make the SD card file that you'll need to create and mount, but I don't know where the default mount folder is.

Once you've compiled x49gp and made a new config file, you can choose to run it from that folder: x49gp config

Good luck. I enjoy using it as it's the only emulator that seems to have any support for the SD card or loading libraries into Port 2. I don't know how good EMU48 is at that.
