It should require very little work; the interface within XeTeX is
essentially the same as for AAT fonts. There's a similar feature/
setting mechanism, etc.
The main difference is that there's no attempt at a registry of
standard features, so the only useful way to access them is via "raw"
names as defined by the font itself, as I understand it.

And there are some Graphite fonts, including some for "interesting"
scripts, on the Graphite Fonts page on scripts.sil.org.
