Yes, with kernel > 2.6.27. But see
http://xfs.9218.n7.nabble.com/External-log-size-limitations-td11878.html, 512MB
is recommended there instead of the max for a number of reasons.
FYI xfs does not yet support moving the log from internal to external or
vice-versa, or growing the log size. You need to specify the log size and if
it's external at creation time.
I've experimented with putting the external log file on a RAM drive, and it
does speed things up. I would only do this temporarily though, since you would
have no journal if the system crashed.

Subject: [CentOS] Max XFS journal size in Centos 6 = 2GB?
Hi all,
I read that XFS now has a max journal size of 2Gb rather than 128M.
Is this correct?
Thanks in advance,
