The short answer is "no".
The long answer is that neither .gifv nor .webm are image formats; they're both ways of taking a video and making the browser pretend it's just an animated GIF (which is an image format). These take difficult and painstaking browser fiddling involving lots of JS, and integrating this with XF would be highly nontrivial. (webm might work with just a <video> tag, but integrating that would also be nontrivial.) Given my current time available for big projects, it's unlikely to happen. (The only way it's workable at all is if someone else has already made an XF extension for it that could simply be installed. Even this would need to wait some time.)
