Arguably so, but

a) it requires more extensive changes to the path machinery
b) keeping it where it is makes clear the distinction of what version of
   XEmacs is documented

(Arguably, this is also the case for mandir, but I think the XEmacs man
page is less frequently updated and much less frequently read.)
