libc.so.5 is specific to FreeBSD-5.x --- this error suggests you've
downloaded a binary package for 5.0 onto a 4.x system.

This is never going to work properly: libc.so.5 is different in some
significant ways from libc.so.4. It's quite surprising that xemacs
would start at all.
What you need to do is find an xemacs-devel package compiled
against FreeBSD 4.x:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4-stable/All/
is a good place to look, as are the equivalent locations on the many
regional mirrors. It appears that there is not a suitable precompiled
package for xemacs-devel available at the moment. One should appear
in the relatively near future as part of the preparations for
4.8-RELEASE.
The other alternative is to cvsup yourself an up to date coppy of the
ports tree and compile xemacs-devel yourself. Which is a whole lot
less hassle than you might think --- the ports system makes all that
stuff pretty much automatic.
Cheers,
Matthew
