It's quite possible.

It's nothing special really. The only thing I had to do is change
"pdflatex" to "xelatex" in org-latex-to-pdf-process. There are some
slight changes in a preamble too. You have to use some packages to take
full advantage of xelatex. They are

  - xunicode and xltxtra --- for utf-8 input,
  - fontspec --- for convenient access to TTF fonts.

I'am not (Xe)LaTeX guru so I can't explain you anything more.

I am creating a beamer presentation so I had to create my preamble from
scrach and add it to org-export-latex-classes (in fact I M-w C-y-ed it
from the web). However, this reminds me of a drawback I found. There is
no way to put some LaTeX code from the Org document into the preamble.
You can use #+begin_latex only for the body.

I use xelatex because it supports UTF-8 input and TTF fonts much better
than any other tex "backend".
