Thanks Rob!  This worked, with some slight modifications for xemacs21:

apt-get install crypt++el gnupg   (no mailcrypt because this is a module for 
xemacs21, the package mailcrypt requires emacs20)

Add the mailcrypt package through the tools -> packages menu.

Add this line to your .xemacs/custom.el:
(setq crypt-encryption-type 'gpg)

Type this command, whatever it does (I'm not actually sure if this was 
necessary)
M-x crypt-rebuild-tables

Exit and restart xemacs.
