Do you actually want XEmacs, or do you want a GUI emacs?
Because the "X" in "XEmacs" is short for "Lucid", not "X11".
GNU Emacs' mindshare is a lot bigger than XEmacs' mindshare.
I don't support XEmacs, but I'll have some educated guesses below.

Available inside Xemacs' builtin dialog of some sort?
This works in GNU Emacs:
(if (not (memq 'xft (frame-parameter nil 'font-backend)))
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "Terminus")
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "DejaVu Sans Mono")
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "DejaVu Sans"))
If you can guarantee a modern build, you can omit the left branch:
(set-face-attribute 'default nil :family "DejaVu Sans Mono")
(set-face-attribute 'variable-pitch nil :family "DejaVu Sans")

You should be using fc-list & fc-match for diagnostics.

fontsets are ancient X font system things that you shouldn't need to
care about if you're using xft/fontconfig.
PS: I'm assuming XEmacs speaks xft & fontconfig these days;
if it's still using the X font system, I have NFI.
