So what you're talking about is the "OSPF Support for Fast 
Hellos" feature from Cisco:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/fasthelo.html


This feature combines the Hello Interval and Dead Interval, 
along with some enhancements that make it behave like BFD in 
a way.

AFAICT, it's only supported in IOS (and perhaps, IOS XE). 
You can tweak both the Hello and Dead Interval timers in IOS 
XR, but they lack of the enhancements to enable fast 
detection.

For IOS XR, yes, BFD is your best bet.

Mark.
