I don't know enough about your use case to answer that definitively.
Writing handlers is easy -- take a gander at the source code for any
of the existing ones for an example.

Read the XML-RPC spec: http://www.xml-rpc.com/spec

Custom XML types are not supported.  Your handler can map to and from
XML-RPC native types to your custom classes.
