Dear Aidan - Would you *prefer* to do it yourself, or be at least as happy
if someone else takes it on?

Is there a current maintainer for 32-bit XEmacs?  That person might be
logical to support 64-bit as well.

On a somewhat different tack: Is XEmacs now being more actively developed?
Web commentary from four years ago suggested that its development pretty
much stopped ...  [Note: Certainly not intending to step into the middle
of any contention about Emacs vs XEmacs!]
