Yes, you presume correctly.

I installed XEmacs out of ports.  I mentioned earlier in the thread
how I installed Gnus.  Here's the current script I use to install CVS
Gnus into my ~/.xemacs/packages directory:

--begin script--
#!/bin/sh
make distclean
cvs update
./configure --with-xemacs --infodir=/home/jmt/.xemacs/packages/info/gnus --with-lispdir=/home/jmt/.xemacs/packages/lisp/gnus --with-etcdir=/home/jmt/.xemacs/packages/etc/gnus
gmake
(cd lisp && for pkg in gnus message smiley; do xemacs -batch -eval \("setq autoload-package-name \"$pkg\""\) -f batch-update-directory . ; done && xemacs -batch -f Custom-make-dependencies ./)
rm -rf /home/jmt/.xemacs/packages/*/gnus
gmake install
--end script--

Jack.
(updating Gnus now)
