I don't see what prevents it. AFAICT it still contains all the backward compatibility code that's in CVS and nobody asked to remove it. If there are a couple more xemacs-specific files, I have no objection to you adding them. The only remaining problem I can imagine is for those few files which aren't FSF-copyright and hence aren't in the ELPA package, but IIUC these are obsoletish and could just be dropped (noone complained about them missing from the ELPA version).
