I don't know the answer and don't have a usable XEmacs or Emacs 23 setup to test. But your question makes me wonder if we should have such a thing. I've been planning for *years* to set up a build farm for the latest Emacs trunk checkout; adding XEmacs and a few other instances shouldn't be too hard. For Gnus specifically it would let us find out very quickly if a checkin breaks compatibility, and we can think of a way to do "testing" branches to test changes without putting them in the master branch.
