The Debian xerces packages include libraries both with the native
transcoder and with the ICU transcoder. The ICU version are built
with ICU, albeit a very old version (2.1). After the next stable
debian release, I intend to only create ICU versions of the xerces
libraries and to upgrade the ICU packages to whatever the latest
version (at least that works with xerces) is at the time.
The debian build scripts configure the ICU version as follows:
runConfigure -plinux -cgcc -xg++ -minmem -ticu -z -g
(plus some additional options to set prefix appropriate for a
distribution, etc.), but probably just specifying -ticu as an argument
to runConfigure should be sufficient. Several people, myself
included, use the ICU versions of Xerces-C++ in debian, and I have not
heard of any problems with it. (I maintain the xerces packages for
Debian.)

I believe this is correct, but I'll defer to someone else.
