I think this is the relevant pages in the buildbot manual for custom 
reporting:

  http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/BuildStep-LogFiles.html 
#BuildStep-LogFiles

There's also
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/latest/SubunitShellCommand.html#SubunitShellCommand

which is basically the same idea as junitxml, but not actually junitxml 
itself, so I'd probably go that way.  However if you really need 
junitxml for something, there are tools for converting between subunit 
and junitxml.
