Don't know what you mean by "API import process". It is certainly possible to write java code which will take an XML document, apply an XSLT to convert it to RDF/XML, then read that RDF/XML stream into a model (including a TDB model). Whether it's better to do that or use an offline process to convert to RDF/XML files first would, I guess, depend on how much data you are dealing split across how many models. Doing it as a simple external script would be the easiest way to get started - set up an export and transform script to generate the RDF/XML files then use tdbloader to load up your TDB and point Fuseki at it.
