The --prefix works in some default cases. Because I'm using GNU Emacs,
the settings for XEmacs I've stolen somewhere, and compared with the
XEmacs sructure under Debian. If there are better defaults, please let
me know.

In your case, you should install Tramp as described in INSTALL (after
compilation):

make lispdir=/usr/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/lisp/tramp \
     infodir=/usr/share/xemacs/xemacs-packages/info \
     install
