No officially support for Xeon.

No officially support for Xeon.

Is it possible to get functionality using a modified BIOS?

Download CSME System Tools v11 and unpack it.
Run \Flash Image Tool\WIN32\fit.exe
Drug and drop full BIOS dump into Flash Image Tool's window.
Go to Intel® ME Kernel->Reserved
Change a value of Reserved parameter to Yes.
Press Ctrl+B to build modded firmware. Then choose Yes
The file with name outimage.bin is modded firmware.
BTW: you need to use a hardware programmer for reading/writing BIOS firmware.
