On my SL5 32 bit system at home I don't use xfs, and lsmod showed no
xfs module loaded until I did 'modprobe xfs'. Then it was there, although
xfs cannot yet be used because xfsprogs isn't installed. If your kernel
is the standard one, you ought to already have xfs in it. Do you have the
xfsprogs rpm installed?

Nothing special. Only enable support to XFS filesystem. I have a hard disk
formated with XFS, and I need to back-up its content.
I read that repos for x86_64 have a kernel module, but I didn't found it to
32 bit. Also, I wish to "perform" my OS :)

What makes you think you need a custom kernel?
I have a machine running XFS with the stock kernel.
[adamb@skeletor ~]$ cat /etc/issue
Scientific Linux release 6.1 (Carbon)
[adamb@skeletor ~]$ cat /etc/fstab
...
UUID=601f4a9a-8d68-4691-8a7a-3082cb367cc6 /var xfs
defaults 1 2
...
Is there a specific feature of XFS you need that is unsupported?

Hi all
I have a laptop where I've installed SL 6.2. No problem at this time.
Now, I need to enable support to XFS filesystem, therefore a custom
kernel must be compiled.
My question is: What kernel can I use, or is "better": Oficial from RHEL
sources and SL, or sources from kernel.org? I would like to read your
advices :)
