XORP does not handle IP pakcets, and thus can do
no QoS classification. XORP is merely control
plane software, ie functionality for routing
protocols and such.
For QoS you need to look at netfilter or something
equivalent.

Though, perhaps one day you will be able to
configure how the kernel should handle QoS via
XORP, but that's far from where we are today.
