I am confused, to summarise:

I can include this directory var as
/prefix/xemacs-packages/etc/auctex/var 

Yes or no.


Second in this case the auctex variable (in tex-site.el)

(Defcustom TeX-auto-global "HERE COMES THE PATH"
  "*Directory containing automatically generated information.  Must
end with a directory separator.

For storing automatic extracted information about the TeX macros
shared by all users of a site."
  :group 'TeX-file
  :type 'directory)

Can be safely commented out (otherwise I don't know what to do, since
/prefix is machine/distribution dependent)
