New description:

 After installing the XEmacs port from DarwinPorts (version 21.4.17_2),
 starting XEmacs generates the error "Error in init file: Symbol's function
 definition is void: read-kbd-macro". According to various reports on the
 Internet (links below), this is characteristic of an XEmacs installation
 missing the base packages. Indeed, a search of the /opt directory for
 files ending in ".el" and containing the string "read-kbd-macro" returns
 no results.

 Installing XEmacs from Fink solves the problem ;-)

Comment:

 I'm using xemacs on a daily basis (21.4.21, revision 1) and it works
 flawless;
