% You can wrap every bitmap image with XForm

\immediate\pdfximage{image.jpg}
\setbox0=\hbox{\pdfrefximage\pdflastximage}
\immediate\pdfxform0

% then you can put all XForms using \pdfliteral only

\pdfliteral{
	/Fm\pdfxformname\pdflastxform \space Do
}

% since you don't use \pdfrefx* commands at top page level,
% you can make your own XObject dict, because pdfTeX will not
% generate one anyway

\pdfpageresources{
/XObject <<
	/Fm\pdfxformname\pdflastxform \space
	\the\pdflastxform\space 0 R
 >>}

\end


Is that what you need?
