Since XQuery is using XPath as its path expression language, the answer
is no. While some of the GPE's capabilities can be modeled with the
alternation (|) (mainly | and ?) the * cannot be fully expressed in
XPath 2.0 (some can be expressed with some of the axes or functions).

Best regards
Michael
