Emacs 21.4 is nearly 4 years old! Org-mode uses quite a bunch of more
or less recent emacs features, so getting it fully working would be
quite a hassle with a lot of compatibility code.
Maybe an older org-mode version supports emacs 21.4 and has all features
you need. But I cannot find a downloads page for old versions...
Or get the git version and use the revision before the commit
31858e5c39404cf2bc745fe05f59c7ce6816db74.

You could compile and install emacs in your $HOME. The INSTALL file
coming with it tells how to do that.
