If you use synaptic, open synaptic and choose Settings->Repositories
enable the universe repository.
After this you should be able to see xemacs21 (after doing an upgrade).
>From the command line:
sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
Enable the line with universe by deleting the comment marker '#'
Save the file
Run
apt-get update
then
apt-cache show xemacs should give you xemacs21
and finally
apt-get install xemacs21 should install xemacs for you.
