As far as I noticed from a casual sight, XJTAG is supporting SVF and JAM programming files. Some Altera tools are at least dealing with JAM (e.g. JAM player), you should be able to convert the files somehow. But you still won't have support for interactive Altera tools based on virtual JTAG communication, download of a volatile FPGA configuration without these seems to be of limited use in my view. Designing your own virtual JTAG tools would be a different thing.
