That is possible. There is a XFS Red Hat 8.0 installer on the FTP site.
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/

Don't forget to update the kernel on it after installing.

If you want a dvd you can also find a link in the archives to a complete 
Red Hat 8.0 with XFS support installer.

If your program needs gcc-3.2 or glibc 2.3 you will need Red Hat 8.

We only have a Red Hat 8.0 installer, there is not enough manpower to make 
installers for the beta products.

There should be no problems in installing or compiling another XFS enabled 
kernel. The on-disk format is the same.

If you need a Red Hat 8.0 box and you already have the Red Hat 8.0 CD's I 
suggest fetching just the 8.0 XFS installer from the FTP site and upgrade 
the kernel to the 1.2pre5 version which is available.
