Ahh ... in that case, the answer is simply "no", the installer will not do it.
XFS isn't in the main part of the distribution, only in the contrib area.  So 
there is no way for the installer to get to the XFS stuff.

It's only in the contrib area because if it was in the distribution, it might 
imply that we actually support it in some form.
