Via the auto-autoloads mechanism.  You should not need to write
explicit invocations of `autoload' in either XEmacs or Emacs.  I
haven't checked all those functions, but the ones I did check have
";;;###autoload" cookies, so they will be automatically turned into
autoloads in auto-autoloads.el.  These are automatically read into
XEmacs at startup.  These "cookies" are the preferred way to set up
autoloads in XEmacs.

The code setting up the menus is still needed in XEmacs, though.
