Unfortunately in my experience GTK doesn't do well with the concept of relative path (not clear if the working directory for the application is the same as the working directory for the file-open dialog box -- apparently they're not! and there's no easy way to define unique relative paths in the presence of hard links or even symlinks. However: if the given absolute path in the xoj file doesn't exist, xournal will silently try to open the same pdf file in the directory of the xoj file, so in practice /anything/you/want/that/doesnt/exist/sheet.pdf will also try to look in ./sheet.pdf (assuming that by "." you mean the directory of the xoj file).
