I have just attended a Novell presentation of XGL and it's impressive!
But... it's bloated software and it's not even finished yet!

I don't think it'll ever go on DSL. DSL-N? Who knows?

There's no Debian package, and maybe not in the near future.

Compiling from source?
Prerequisites: Mesa 6.5(CVS HEAD), cairo glitz(CVS HEAD), gnome control-center 2.14 (for compiz gnome-window-decorator) and more...

I don't see it that easy.

Ubuntu binaries should't work with DSL. Correct me if I am wrong.
You can test it yourself and prove me I'm wrong.

Code Sample

root@box:~# wget http://battlehorse.homelinux.net:8080/xglcount.php?dl=http://www.webalice.it/mzandi/20060225/zt-xserver-xgl_1.0.1-1_i386.deb
Connecting to proxy1.equinoxsolutions.com[212.85.15.56]:80
zt-xserver-xgl_1.0.1 100% |************************************
root@box:~# dpkg -i /tmp/zt-xserver-xgl_1.0.1-1_i386.deb
Selecting previously deselected package zt-xserver-xgl.
(Reading database ... 10918 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking zt-xserver-xgl (from .../zt-xserver-xgl_1.0.1-1_i386.deb) ...
Setting up zt-xserver-xgl (1.0.1-1) ...
root@box:~# whereis zt-xserver-xg
zt-xserver-xg:
root@box:~#

Even if it did, it's a tremendously big package, I don't think it's in the spirit of DSL. Maybe DSL-N.
