if a few hundred kb more are not a problem...
AFAIK gnuserv connections aren't really first class citizens;
XEmacs
has to connect to some device.
... one could
1. start xemacs in a "screen session"
% screen xemacs -nw -f gnuserv-start
2. immediately detach from the session (usually it's C-a d), and
3. use gnuclient, that usually does the right thing (X vs tty-wise)
yes, it's a workaround, but, as Steven said, as long as xemacs is
connected to some device, everybody's happy

ps: i heard that similar tricks are possible using vnc, too...
