Actually, if you know what you are doing, you can create the XFA structure from scratch. The API documentation is available. Then all you need to do is create the wrapper PDF using COS level functions, and add the XFA code in the correct place. However, I would not recommend doing that. That's why we have applications that can create XFA documents based on the layout you create in a graphic UI.
Also, you need to consider if it's worth doing that when Adobe is actually turning away from XFA. Your documents would have to be edited in Adobe Acrobat or the free Adobe Reader on the desktop. Your chances of finding a mobile application that can fill out your form are very small to nonexistent. I advice my clients to stay away from XFA if at all possible. Yes, you cannot have tables that automatically expand (and other more dynamic form elements), but the chances that somebody can actually fill the form are much better.
