Are formats also part of TeXLive?
In general: yes.
If so, will formats for XeTeX also be available
Probably not. There can be only one format with a given name within TeXLive (fmtutil), and that will almost certainly be used for pdftex.
After I finally managed to download & test a bit, I'm really glad to tell you that you were wrong this time ;)
well, akira already implemented the engine subpath support quite a while ago; dunno about miktex
XeTeX will be integrated in 2.7, so it's not an issue yet.
(Could ConTeXt be built with slightly more hyphenation patterns in TeXLive perhaps? Well, I bear a specific one in my head at the moment .... I don't know how it is with other languages.)

But if formats are created automatically, it's impossible to pass options (unless one creates formats manually, of course, but even then it's a bit confusing - I never know to which location the formats are going to be placed - it's different each time when I try to generate them ;). Mojca
