Well, I think you can always say that on your wiki namepage that all
your contributions are all also licensed under the XEmacs lincense,
and then the only problem will be non-XEmacs people improving your
stuff.  You would then have to ask them whether the would also
dual-license their stuff.  

Additionally, you could also add a little note to all critical XEmacs
pages (ie. the pages that are possible candidates for stuff that will
go back into XEmacs).

If you can think of a way to retroactively dual-license the entire
wiki, I'd be happy to help you do that.  But I have no idea how to do
it.

Another solution would be to have a separate XEmacs developers wiki
(http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/xemacs) with "near links" to the
ordinary wiki (http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs).  Near linking
is a little tricky to explain, therefore I'll just point you to a web
page explaining the concept:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/community/NearLink
(I run several wikis on that server...  ;)
