The XEmacs 21.4.18 provided by Debian e.g. is configured like this
(output from `report-xemacs-bug'):

./configure  '--with-sound=none,native' '--with-x11' '--extra-verbose' '--with-site-lisp' '--with-database=berkdb' '--statedir=/var/lib' '--infodir=/usr/share/info/xemacs21' '--infopath=/usr/share/info/xemacs21' '--prefix=/usr' '--dynamic' '--error-checking=none' '--debug=no' '--with-pop' '--with-file-coding' '--pdump' '--with-system-malloc' '--with_menubars=lucid' '--with_scrollbars=lucid' '--with_dialogs=athena' '--docdir=/usr/lib/xemacs-21.4.18/i386-debian-linux/mule/' '--with-mule' '--with-canna=no' '--with-wnn=no' '--with-xim=xlib' '--with-xfs' '--package-path=~/.xemacs:~/.xemacs/packages:~/.xemacs/xemacs-packages::/usr/share/xemacs21/site-packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/mule-packages:/usr/share/xemacs21/xemacs-packages' 'i386-debian-linux'

So the package hierarchies could be anywhere depending on the value
supplied to --package-path.
