shell{db,c}.el works fine in XEmacs, aside from some implicit
limitations (see dejanews).  The easiest thing to do is to excise the
define-key-after's or fset them to ignore.

Did you notice Simon Marshall's comment before you started hacking?
Your macro adds mouse/menu items to an XEmacs keymap directly, but
XEmacs uses a different input model.

Port it to easymenu or an equivalent if you want those menus.

From shellc.el:

 ;;; Add to the menu-bar.
 (let ((completion-map (lookup-key shell-mode-map [menu-bar completion])))
   (define-key-after completion-map [complete-shell-variable]
     '("Complete Shell Variable Name" . shellc-dynamic-complete-shell-variable)
     'complete-env-variable)
