Hey Johnny!
ftp://ftp.metalab.unc.edu/pub/packages/editors/xemacs/
has indeed no packages directory!
Try
ftp://uiarchive.uiuc.edu/pub/packages/xemacs/packages/
by selecting
uiuc.edu (United States)
from
Options -> Manage Packages -> Add Download Site
postmaster(a)metalab.unc.edu, xemacs-beta:
Should ftp.metalab.unc.edu be taken out of the list of mirrors?
Best regards,
Adrian
