There is no built in way of doing this.  It is possible that someone
might have a private version to offer, but it shouldn't be too hard to
make it work on your own.  The primary code you should start looking
at would be in "perl/lib/KinoSearch/QueryParser.pm".

Depending on your exact needs, though, I would seriously consider just
writing a layer to translate the XML query into the existing query
syntax.  If the queries you are considering can be expressed as a
parenthesized boolean expression, this would certainly be the simplest
solution, and likely easiest to maintain.
