Is there anyway to convert this (eg with org2org) so Xastir can use it or should I look for a different map?

Looks like it could be stateplane projection in feet.

Instructions on using ogr2ogr to transform shapefiles here:

Read it carefully.

If your shapefiles have a .prj file with them, that might define the projection and you wouldn't have to know what the existing projection/units are.
