I haven't used them, I don't know. Aleph is a project with the aim of 
integrating eTeX and Omega while fixing the show-stopping bugs that are 
one of the reason Omega never got off the ground while it say in CTAN 
mouldering. (And has been very successful in that aim, as far as I've 
been lead to believe.)

exTeX is, I think, continuing the work of NTS in building a new TeX 
from the ground up using a modern architecture with support for unicode 
etc. etc. I don't know how far it's got, but there were a couple of 
papers in the just past EuroTeX on it so I believe it's actively under 
development.

I guess the latter would be the most appropriate vehicle in which to 
build a "cross-platform XeTeX" if such a hypothetical beast was ever to 
emerge. (I don't see why not, while we're speaking in hypotheticals.)
