Au contraire!  I use the emacs server from a plain terminal daily.
All you have to do is type ^Z when it says "Waiting for emacs..." and
then bring emacs back into the foreground by %em or whatever.  When
you're done, you do a ^X#, then stop emacs, and then type %- at the
csh; emacsclient says "Done", and you continue merrily on your way.
