Officially support xfs file system?  no, not until RedHat officially supports it.

Have it in our contrib section and supported that way? yes.  CERN has provided
  kernels with XFS hooks, and the corresponding XFS kernel modules, since
Scientific Linux 3.0.2.  These are at
ftp://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/303/i386/contrib/RPMS/
