That depends on what you want the xml to look like ;). Lilypond already has an SVG backend, and that's technically XML, but you might be looking for something a bit more 'semantical'.

There's been talk about a MusicXML backend which would likely be closer to what you're looking for, but AFAIK nobody has stepped up to write the code for this.

There is some work afoot to do musicxml export. I dont know what you want it for but you can get the midi and read that into musescore - thought there do seem to be some problems with the midi conversion but it can be enough to get you by.

AFAIK Frescobaldi has it in progress
quote from lilypond mail list
" Frescobaldi's musicxml export is still in an early stage of development ... "
