I think a redirectmatch will help:

---- >8 ----
RedirectMatch ^/$ /XEmacs/its/
---- 8< ----

And if you want apache to serve(to make use of the sendfile()
function)static htdoc documents inside the XEmacs/its virtual hierarchy
(eg. roundup help guide XEmacs/its/@@file/xxx.html ) then you can use
mod_rewrite:

---- >8 ----
# Service static contents by mod_alias and mod_rewrite
Alias /roundup-htdocs /path/to/the/roundup/static/htdocs
<Directory "/path/to/the/roundup/static/htdocs">
  Order allow,deny
  Allow from all
</Directory>

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/XEmacs/its/@@file/(.*)$ /trac-htdocs/$2 [PT]
---- 8< ----
