It is, more or less. XeLaTeX needs a different header, that is what the
instructions set up. However, I would recommend keeping it simple and
put your packages etc in your own style file.

In `org-export-latex-classes', replace

	 "\\documentclass[11pt]{article}"

with

	 "[NO-DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
	 \\documentclass[11pt]{article}\n\\usepackage{myxe}"

and put everything you need in myxe.sty.

BTW, this only works if you use a font that provides all the characters
you need (and looks nice enough for your taste). Alternatively, you could
use `org-export-latex-final-hook' and write a function that translates
unicode characters to latex code.
