Yes and no.  AUCTeX never provided a package setup for XEmacs
previously, so it would be misleading to say that anything has
changed.  How and whether you need to specifically activate AUCTeX in
XEmacs has always been at the discretion of the XEmacs packagers.

We will provide much more of a framework with AUCTeX 11.80, but
whether this gets picked up by the people actually wrapping up an
XEmacs package, will remain to be seen.
