We are happy to announce that this feature request will be met.
The version in the master branch of the GNU XBoard repository now
has a move-type-in dialog similar to that of WinBoard.

Typing a letter or digit (other keystrokes are reserved for key binding
to menu functions) when the board has focus will popup the type-in box
with the character in it. You can then complete the move there
and on <Enter> the box will close, and the move will be processed.

You can also type a number, which will be interpreted as a move number,
and bring up the corresponding position of the currently loaded game in
the display, like you moved there with the < or > button, or by clicking
the evaluaton graph or move list.

In Edit Position mode you can also type a FEN in the box, which will
cause the corresponding position to be set up.
