The full set of packages is not included on single-disk images, because CDs don't have enough space for all of them. The latest packages are always available from the FreeBSD sites, but with an older release like yours there's no guarantee the package will work properly. Also, packages are compiled with X, so you won't be able to use the xemacs package unless you have X installed (you don't need to be running X, you just need the libraries). I recommend that you install the ports system (if you haven't already) and install xemacs from there.
