No it doesn't; at least not yet.

I've had no experience with (non-math) Greek, so don't know which
are the commonly used packages and methods.

If there is a standard TeX macro-name for each letter, then this
can be supported in  xunicode . But if you rely on ligatures,
(i.e., special sequences of input characters) then the TECkit
approach to mappings is probably best.

Tell me where to look and I'll try to make time to see if
there is anyway to include back-compatibility support for
Greek input within  xunicode .
