I was wondering if it were possible to dynamically create an XML layout file to be displayed to the user. The idea would be to be able to retrieve a layout file from a central server, which could display this dynamic, server driven GUI.

You’ll have a problem with the way resource IDs are pre-baked at build time.
Since GUI elements can be instantiated at runtime, you could probably roll your own inflater with an XML parser and a bit of reflection.
