Yeah, that happened to me recently as well when I updated
XQuartz. Just about every time I update XQuartz, xemacs stops working.
Since I build my own version, this has always been fixed by
recompiling xemacs again.

Since it sounds like you're using a binary installation, I don't have
real solution for you, however.
