XPCOM and COM are almost the same. The base interface IUnknown in COM 
has the same interface as the base interface called nsISupports in 
XPCOM. Even the GUID (00000000-0000-0000-C000-000000000046) is the same.

see:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/nsISupports

"On Win32 systems, nsISupports is ABI-compatible with Microsoft COM's 
IUnknown interface."

So you should be able to use D's COM support for interfacing.
