I don't think you can without removing CONFLICTS from Makefile before 
installing, but I'd also like to have them both installed on some places...

FWIW, NetBSD pkgsrc seems to prefix conflicting files with emacs- and xemacs-. 
Here are the cvsweb links to their plist files:

http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/editors/xemacs/PLIST?rev=1.12&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/pkgsrc/editors/emacs/PLIST?rev=1.11&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup

I've CCed the maintainers of emacs, xemacs21-mule and xemacs-mule-devel to see 
what they think; other versions seem unmaintained as far as I've checked.
