AFAIK not before the summer. XeTeX will probably have reached version
0.998 by then. In the meanwhile, I suggest you try installing the latest
SVN version using these instructions:
mkdir xetex
cd xetex
svn co http://scripts.sil.org/svn-public/xetex/TRUNK
./build-xetex
strip Work/texk/web2c/xetex #optional
sudo ./install-xetex
cd ..
mkdir xdvipdfmx
cd xdvipdfmx
svn co http://scripts.sil.org/svn-public/xdvipdfmx/TRUNK
./configure # you may have to add --with-kpathsea=<location of kpathsea
library>
make
strip src/xdvipdfmx #optional
sudo make install
That will install the binaries of xetex and xdvipdfmx, rebuild the
formats, and install the latest development versions of xelatex-related
packages (fontspec, etc) ُunder TEXMFLOCAL.
Hope it helps,
François
