I don't know much about ncurses, termcap, terminfo and all that stuff, but I found that I could compile xemacs-21.1.12 OOTB *without* any additional ncurses library. I don't notice any loss of functionality with 'xemacs -nw'. (But I hardly ever use it, and possibly not the same way you do.) Might be worth a try?
