No. You can copy the Portfile to a new port
(xemacs-devel is probably the best name, see below),
remove any patches (since they probably won't apply to
XEmacs 21.5), change the names of the download files,
and remove the checksums. Change the port revision
number to 0. Change the download location to
xemacs-21.5.

Hm that looks rather complicated. (I am not a MacUser, it is
for a friend).
Could I just run ./configure && make && make install, which
would end xemacs installed in /usr/local.
Would that cause a problem with the official port xemacs?
The problem is that our Makefile does not provide any
*uninstall* option.
In linux there were a couple of installation trackers which
allowed you then to install software, without creating a pkg
(not a very clean way I admit)
I could run make -n install and try to generate a uninstall
command myself.
But I would prefer something more sophisticated.
