Yes, with some caveats.

 - XO-1.5 mobo and EC know how to drive an ALPS TP, make sure you have
a recent OFW

 - You'll be missing a place to screw the WLAN to. Use the 2 holes
(one in the mobo, one on a corner of the WLAN), cut a bit of a clip,
and solder it across the 2 wholes to keep the WLAN 'down' in its
place.
