*ohhh*
I see. Sorry about the confusion. I thought you were talking about using
converted OpenType fonts, and then using them in their natural state
from XeTeX.

If they're virtual fonts, then the short answer is no. XeTeX doesn't
deal with virtual fonts at all when it is in its "compatibility
mode" (i.e., tries to use tfms/type1 fonts in the texmf tree). This is
disappointing to me too (having just moved euler support to eulervm
files), but it's fairly understandable in the context of what XeTeX is
trying to achieve.
