A JPG is a raster file though perhaps not one that Xastir can use directly.  Just convert it into a different file type like XPM or GIF and it should display like any other image file in Xastir.

Converting a JPG to a shapefile would be a lot harder and take a lot of work on your part to draw all the details.
