I've installed the /source xemacs-19.14 recently under debian with
only one snag on network database support. The only common area
shared between FSF emacs and xemacs (under default config) lies in
user specific lisp directories. The problem is that FSF has changed
(from time to time) it's byte-compiled format, and that there are
other uniquenesses in each elisp/emacs. Xemacs does come with a very
nice sample.emacs, which gives good hints on how to split these shared
resources within the same structure.
For FSF emacs 19.28-34.
As someone who as been dragging people into Emacs since the dark ages
I highly recommend Xemacs for the unwashed.
