Not yet, but coming soon. Motif is still deprecated though, as GTK+ & Qt
are much better choices for modern applications, offering better integration
with the modern desktops, better support for accessibility, and things users
take for granted these days, such as font anti-aliasing.
(BTW, I use xemacs for all my development work, so sign me up as a beta tester.
I currently use the Studio bundled version on nevada.)
