Better to test (featurep 'xemacs).

You could roll this into the cond test. Same goes for the other cond
clauses. That is,

(cond ((and (featurep 'xemacs) (file-readable-p "~/.xemacs/init.el"))
       (load "~/.xemacs/init.el" nil t))
      ...)

This'll let you avoid explicit progns, like in this clause of yours:
