You'll have to convert it to a file format that Xastir understands. We can't read XML map files. The list of vector formats we actually support is displayed at the time you start up Xastir.
It is possible you could convert it to shapefile format using the "ogr2ogr" tool of the GDAL suite, if the XML file describes a vector map. Once you've converted to shapefile format, you will almost certainly need to create a dbfawk file to go with it. dbfawk files tell Xastir how to render the lines it finds in the shapefile --- without one, they all show up as unlabeled black lines, which is fairly useless. You may be better off trying to locate OSM maps that have already been converted to shapefile. There may even be a dbfawk file in Xastir's config directory that is suitable for rendering those. Sorry there is no quick and dirty answer to your question. Using off-line maps is a great thing, and Xastir is quite capable in that regard, but setting them up can be a chore.
