Depends on what you mean.
Matter Transmission (digitally encoding the information necessary to recreate an object at another location) still eludes scientists, but has not yet been proven impossible
Quantum Displacement (inducing an object in a state of quantum duality to appear in its second location rather than the original), on the other hand, is not only a viable theory, but has actually been demonstrated - I think that this is what Xavier was referring to. Unfortunately, they haven't managed to transport anything larger than an electron, but they're working on it... The teleportation devices on Oddworld could easily work by QD rather than MT...
Just thought I'd point that out, off-topic as it may be...
