No. The way XP mode Works, from what i've seen is that it launchs a Virtual Machine which contains a full setup of XP inside of Windows 7.
Once you get it running you can then install the specif Apps you want Apps inside it and have links to launch directly from Win7, something similar to what VMware offers in OSX, but simplified as the the VM is already ready.
What I found was that while you can install the VM, it does not launch when you try to start it unless you have a processor which has HAV enabled on it.
What I was trying to see was whether it was possible to run the XP mode, even slowly without HAV, but its not possible.
