Not without a patch to XFS which changes the ondisk format
of ACLs (in a way that is incompatible with IRIX and all
existing Linux XFS installations, unfortunately) - there is
such a patch somewhere in the archives but its unlikely to
ever been incorporated.  You will also have problems with
xfs_repair considering these ACLs as being corrupt (which,
in a way, they are).

cheers.
