I use a custom CentOS 5 installer that will create (and install on) XFS /boot and / - so it is possible, but does involve patching and rebuilding anaconda and then rebuilding the installer images (not a straight forward process).
Can you not just do it with a pre script? I'd have thought you could wget mkfs.xfs and do the partition at that stage, then have it not format later on. Or are the partition probing issues?
However, I'm not sure there is much to gain by having XFS /boot and / file systems
No, I wasn't convinced there was either.
