There are indeed 'inodes' listed in the 'df -i' output of XFS filesystems.
However, I've never heard of anyone hitting the inode limit on XFS, unlike
ext3.

$ mount
/dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,errors=remount-ro)
<snip>
/dev/sda3 on /var/lib/backuppc type xfs (rw,noatime)
$ df -i
Filesystem            Inodes   IUsed   IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda1            1969920   54048 1915872    3% /
<snip>
/dev/sda3            383991360 6330684 377660676    2% /var/lib/backuppc
