Yes, I have packaged xdrfile in Fedora as a shared library. (To compile
against it, run
 # yum -y install xdrfile-devel
)

There's no magic to it: you just run
 $ ./configure --disable-static --enable-shared
compile and you end up with the shared library. Of course, you can
compile the static version, too, if you want to.
