The docs and files on the USR web site imply that the native
filesystem was originally XFS, but when i try to mount it as such, I
can't:

I heard Dave Chinner talking about this during LCA-2009.
If I remember correctly, there is something a bit funny about structure
layout and padding on the ARM and it affects XFS is some strange way,
and some NAS vendors 'fixed' it the wrong way, so they are incompatible
with mainline..... or something like that.  What I really remember is
ARM + XFS + NAS == BAD Vendor

I suggest asking at xfs@oss.sgi.com

No, those other partitions are relevant.  One was clearly for
swap.  The other was probably /boot.

Maybe it can be salvaged using QEMU?
There are even preconfigured ARM environments available:
