You could try the package xemacs-20 (or whatever the latest version in
pkgsrc), although my experience with xemacs-20 is less than
satisfactory.  Especially it would die on me with "Memory Exhausted"
message after certain amount of normal use.  I just gave up on it and
went back to emacs-20, instead.

This suggests that you need to allocate more purespace.  How, I'm not
quite sure.

Although it looked pretty cool, Xemacs-20 was unbearably slow on a
68040@40MHz with 48Mbytes of RAM.  I wouldn't even try to run it on a
68030 at any clock rate.
