If it's a simple addition like AC_CHECK_LIB, the simplest is just to add a test to configure.in, even though XEmacs proper won't use it. The proper architected solution is for the module to have its own configure script, and write its output to a file with a different name from config.h, so that you don't get name conflicts. But trust me, you don't want to get into the business of maintaining a configure tool set if you can avoid it.
