By "multicast BGP" I presume you mean MBGP which actually stands for
"Multiprotocol (Extensions for) BGP" as described in RFC 4760.
Yes, XORP implements MBGP.

As for MOSPF (Multicast OSPF) as described in RFC 1584, XORP does
not implement it. There are very few commercial MOSPF
implementations/deployments and in general almost everyone is using
PIM-SM (or occasionally PIM-DM or DVMRP).
Hence, MOSPF implementation is not on our TODO list.
