no, but from what I understand, there are people trying to get it to work on xp. By the time they accomplish this though, vista will be better than it is now and more people will be using it.

The way that I understand it, what the hackers want to do isn't to implement the Dx10 software itself on XP, which probably cannot be done, but rather to allow game players with XP to play games intended only for Vista and Dx10. This may work the way that the OldBlivion Launcher Mod does for Oblivion with regard to SM-1 hardware (Dx8, and/or nVidia FXes), or the way that Bioshock can be played on SM-2 cards.
it is a possibility that people will make a hack of it to work on xp. that will take awhile though. as previously said, by the time that happens, vista will probably be worth your money, other than DX10. in other words, it can happen, but probably will be a fruitless effort.
Where you may want to put your bet is on direct X 9.0L. It's simply a revised version of directX10 for XP. here's some more information on it.
it's been stated by several big-time developers that dx10 could have been done on XP but MS wanted to sell Vista. This is the main reason why it will never come to XP. To all those saying that Vista is perfect... it may run everything you want and do everything you need but people do not want to use it because it is a major resource hog(amongotherreasons). there is absolutely no reason an OS should require 2GB of RAM to run well.MS screwed the pooch on this OS with how bloated the coding is.

Nobody has said that, and they did its 100% not true. There are very fundamental differences in the display driver model used by Vista, and thats a big part of DX10. Bringing that to XP would mean completely replacing the display system, which is stupid for an OS that's already been replaced.
