Hi Isaiah,
the code is not in the repository because building it is quite tricky: 
some classes of XIP have to be patched, rebuilt with the same compiler 
and configuration as the (closed-source) XIP-Builder, specific versions 
of ITK/VTK (for XIP 0.2.2 these were v3.8.0 and v5.2, respectively) are 
required, etc. It is unclear whether it will work with the current 
versions of XIP and MITK. At the CTK hackfest in Washington in May last 
year, we started to work on a modified idea for the integration,  which 
potentially would overcome the limitation of the VTK-wrapping of XIP 
(which forms the basis for the MITK integration) that did not allow for 
using native XIP/Open Inventor objects together with VTK objects within 
the same scene graph (see the last section of the paper). Additionally, 
this approach (using vtkProp instead of vtkRenderer as the point of 
integration) might work in a similar way in both directions: integrating 
VTK/MITK into XIP and vice versa. Because we already had a 
proof-of-concept for the integration VTK/MITK into XIP, we found it more 
interesting to try the new idea for the other direction: integrating 
XIP/Open Inventor into VTK/MITK. We had some promising first results 
(the code is on github under my account), but, unfortunately, did not 
have the time to continue this work afterwards. I can send you the other 
classes (and 3 pages of German notes on how to build it J), if you like, 
but it will not be just "trying it", but really digging into the matter. 
If there is enough interest, it may be a topic for one of the next CTK 
hackfests.
Best regards,
Ivo
