This is unfortunately impossible without modifications to x?emacs. There was noise from xemacs team about fixing this (in xemacs) but I don't know what became of it. Myself I use GNU Emacs.

GNU Emacs does it through a subprocess and an associated Elisp module (t-mouse.el). If this is the case for xemacs too, the right Alt key (AltGr) should work. It is also possible, though, that xemacs already has this functionality compiled in; that was another thing I remember hearing from xemacs people. In that case xemacs itself fully controls which mouse events it grabs, and you'd have to deal with this as with an xemacs bug. Brian> Is it possible to use "normal" cut&paste with xemacs?

If it's done with t-mouse, disable it in your .xemacs or site-lisp/default.el, wherever it is. If it's compiled in, it's probably a command line option or it can't be disabled at all.
