In the use case you gave ... sipx or the itap would send the call to the sip gateway. The sip gateway would handoff the call to its t1, pri, or analog interface(s). If it ia analog, that is where the huntgroups are created and managed, not in sipx.
Once the foreign pbx has the call, how it handles sending the call to handsets its internal to itself. This is not a sipx question. I think its been answered. Your remaining issues are what sup connections and handoff/interfaces it has and how functional and compatible they are. When you start mentioning gateways with names I've never heard of, its time for me to remain silent. I have my share of paperweights and boat anchors when it comes to gateways. Good luck.
