 When I instead type "sudo port install xemacs at 21.4.22" it installs version
 "xemacs-21.5.16".

 can fix in the packaging. (Incidentally, note that there are also other
 emacs ports, such as emacs-mac-app, which is what I typically use.)

 Yes, the packages worked fine for me in version 21.4.22. Any 21.4 version
 could possibly work fine. I can re-confirm that 21.5.16 crashes often and
 behaves weird in some situation (e.g. curses jumps to a new location when
 you click into an xemacs window.)
