It should theoretically work.  If you could chop it up into small
tiles it'll work much better though.

Xastir keeps an index for your maps containing the bounding
rectangle for each map.  If a map doesn't fit in your viewport, it
is skipped during map loading.

If you have one large map, Xastir will have to run through the
entire file each time you pan or zoom.
