Sure. If you're going to "borrow" the packages installed by the
MacPorts port, give ./configure the --with-system-packages=$ROOT,
where ROOT is the directory containing {xemacs,mule,site}-packages
directories. Probably it's /opt/local/share/xemacs.
Check that /usr/local/bin is on PATH.
Would that cause a problem with the official port xemacs?
No, unless your MacUser friend put MacPorts in /usr/local. But that
seems very unlikely. And if they did, you can just put XEmacs
somewhere else, for example --prefix=/usr/local/xemacs. This also has
the benefit that if the prefix is used only for that version of
XEmacs, uninstall is just rm -rf /usr/local/xemacs.
If you do this, you need to add /usr/local/xemacs/bin to PATH.
