There are many things on XNA Community Games that are not actually games. I think that it is at least worth considering. I understand that it would take huge rewrites of code, but it seems actually plausible, as opposed to actually modding the 360 to be homebrew-able (which is of course way not possible at this point in time).
I am pretty sure that there are some restrictions on XNA software, but I don't think that such restrictions would completely prohibit a port of some version XBMC, or at least a barebones version of mplayer. If anyone has anything to add this discussion, please do so. I'm interested to see what others think about XBMC on XNA.
Edit: Oh, and there is the whole fact that if you were to publish it to XNA, you would get payed for every download. I honestly believe that tons of people would pay for something that functioned well.
