The answer from @Toymakerii is a good one, but you might also consider adding:

export PATH=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin:$PATH

This way, you can use emacsclient to open files in an already-running Emacs instance:

emacsclient -t SOMEFILE   # Open SOMEFILE in a terminal frame
emacsclient -c SOMEFILE   # Open SOMEFILE in a new graphical frame

Depending on your Emacs version, you might need to put the following in your ~/.emacs.d/init.el (or ~/.emacs, if you're old-fashioned):

(require 'server)
(unless (server-running-p)
  (server-start))
