21.3 and 21.4 differ only in a security bug fix in the movemail
program. You could compile 21.4 (or only the movemail program) and
replace only the movemail binary (located in
<prefix>/emacs/<version>/<arch>/movemail).
But if you have installed the lisp packages (like AUCTeX) in the
site-lisp directory, a new (full) installation of Emacs shouldn't do
any harm.
