I would be okay with a potential data-root in
/Library/Application Support/XEmacs/XEmacs Packages/ , and a potential
user-init-directory in ~/Library/Application/XEmacs , if and only if the
latter will be overridden by an existing ~/.xemacs/ . 

That allows the pure Mac people to be conscientious and Mac about their work
habits, and the mixed Unix-Mac people to reasonable behaviour by default.
