Since we now know that XM & Bluetooth will be available on the 2009 model, will there be XM & Bluetooth retrofits for those of us who choose to be 'early adopters'?

As long as the dash opening does not change you should be able to purchase through parts a 2009 radio. you may or may not have to upgrade the antenna, the OnStar blade should be sufficient if the wiring harness has a correct plug.

Okay, if true, that takes care XM. What about Bluetooth?

It may take care of both. The STS (only car so far from GM to offer Bluetooth and Onstar) contained the Bluetooth within the radio instead of a separate module. Not likely this is what happened with the G8, but it may be.
