yes...
NetBSD and the SGI's both use emacs19 as the default.
there are things that are incompatible between emacs19 and the
default emacs on other athena machines (emacs18). You can usually
just change your default to emacs19 in the following way:
in your .aliases file, put:
if (-x /mit/emacs19/${bindir}/emacs) then
alias emacs '/mit/emacs19/${bindir}/emacs'
endif
This will make emacs19 load up on all platforms when you try to run
emacs (which is probably better.. albeit slower). You will still need to
fix your .emacs file to work with emacs19 however.
(Another thing that might catch you at some point is the fact that
perl on your machine is perl5, while most machines use perl4).
