See the "dbi2omega" perl script in the omega application, which will 
dump a mysql table to a format suitable for indexing with Xapian (using 
the scriptindex tool, also in the omega application).  You may need to 
modify this script a little if you have a more complex database than 
that (or possibly create a database view containing the data you want to 
index).

If you need closer integration, you might want to set up triggers to 
cause immediate updates - this is perfectly feasible, but there's 
nothing already written in the Xapian distribution to do this sort of thing.
