Yes.

Motif/lesstif no. Gtk or Qt (or both if the Qt licensing weren't so
fucked) are preferable.

Both. Qt licensing says only free for freeware. If kde wins
the battle for the desktops, I'd like us to have the qt behind us. If
the Gnome people (would stop writing irc clients) would start to
realize the importance of a lightweight office suite, then they might
be farther ahead.
On a secondary note, the developer of Maxwell said in email
that they'd be releasing the source code real soon now under GPL. If
anyone wants wp functions, Maxwell's got them and has them in a neat
Unixy way. Don't know if any of the code would be useful in setting
up a wp inside XEmacs.

And according to the FSF interpretation[1] of the Qt and GPL licenses,
distributing a linked binary would thus violate the GPL. The is not
really a problem with KDE, since the authors are unlikely to sue
themselves. One can even argue that they have implictly added an
exception to the GPL for linking with Qt.
However, XEmacs _is_ partly owned by the FSF. Distributing a Qt
version of XEmacs would almost force them to take action of some kind.
A legal battle (or even just threads) between the FSF and the XEmacs
developers would be a PR disaster for the whole free software
community.
Footnotes:
[1] Please don't start discussing whether their interpretation is right.

Actually I said Qt but was thinking Harmony, the (far from usable yet)
free (lgpl) Qt reimplementation.
