I think you might be misunderstanding 3D formats.
Your bluray will have MVC encoded 3D video. That means it has a complete left eye movie, which is what you watch when you want to see it in 2D. It also has a difference track for the right eye, which contains only the differences between the left and right. The right eye view is recreated from this on the fly. It is far more compact than distributing the full movie in two 'views'.
When you rip it with makemkv the ripped mkv will still be MVC.
XBMC cannot play MVC. EDIT TO ADD: there is currently no open source implementation of MVC decoding.
XBMC can play side-by-side and top-and-bottom (aka over-and-under). Those are alternative ripping formats, often available from torrent sites.
