Here's a message I posted a while ago which lists some of them. I hope it's
of some use to somebody :-)

I've had a look at all the current packages, details are below (some
programs are probably fine). I think most of these packages should be
"fixed" is someway - either:
depending on emacs|xemacs
description includes "does not work with Xemacs"
description includes "already included with Xemacs"
As an aside, these packages *shouldn't* have "conflicts Xemacs" as you might
want to install emacs and Xemacs at the same time. One of the things about
installing xemacs and emacs was sharing files (just the .els?) - if this is
done, is there a problem when someone installs auctex for emacs and they
have xemacs installed?
Cheers - details follow...
packages which seem fine
------------------------
vm (depends on emacs, says it is already included in xemacs)
cvs-pcl (ditto)
tm (depends on xemacs|emacs)
packages with bugs?
-------------------
suggests emacs, no mention of xemacs:
elisp-manual
gnats
gnats-user
depend on emacs, no mention of xemacs:
hyperlatex
auto-pgp
w3-el
mailcrypt (emacs >=19.28-1)
gnuserv

auctex
emacspeak
debview
emacs-czech (emacs >=19.30)
