Eventually, when I’ve finished the game I’m writing, I’d like to port it to XNA. I’m using C++ and OpenGL at the moment. My question is simply this: does XNA support OpenGL (I can switch from C++ to XNA language if need be)?

The XnaTouch implementation runs on iPhone and so uses OpenGL ES under the hood. It uses C# via the Mono project (specifically MonoTouch for the iPhone). This could conceivably be used as a base to port XNA to other platforms that don’t support DirectX (eg: Mac, Linux).
(Note: in my experience the XnaTouch implementation is not very good.)
Obviously the Xbox 360 doesn’t use OpenGL at all – it uses DirectX – you don’t get an option about this.
And I don’t even understand why you’d want to use XNA, but with OpenGL under the covers, on Windows when the existing XNA implementation works just fine.
