Well, it seems that the "xemacs" I was looking for is actually called
emacs-x in RHEL5.

If you do a
  rpm -f `which emacs-x`
it should point back to the emacs package.  The gnu emacs package
supplies emacs-x and emacs-nox  (with/without X11 at startup).
From the emacs RPM changelog:

* Sun Apr 10 2005 Jens Petersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> - 21.4-1
- replace %{_bindir}/emacs alternatives with a wrapper script (Warren Togami)
  to prevent it from disappearing when upgrading (Michal Jaegermann, 154326)
  - suffix the X emacs binaries with -x and the no X binaries with -nox
  - the wrapper script %{_bindir}/emacs-%%version runs emacs-x if installed or
    otherwise emacs-nox.  %{_bindir}/emacs is a symlink to the wrapper

From the www.xemacs.org website, it appears that xemacs forked or was a
completely independent development since ~1994.

So the capabilities of emacs-x  & xemacs have probably diverged over the years.
