The short story is that Xaraya2x differs from the 2x branch in 2 respects:

1. It makes heavier use of php5 OO constructs that php4 does not have, 
and that in a few cases are not really compatible with php4.

2. A number of structures in Xaraya itself have been redefined in 2x. 
For instance the database tables have been normalized. The error you 
mention has to do with DD properties, whose structure has also changed. 
In order to fix that you would need to change not only the property that 
threw the error, but also its parents in the object tree.

I would not recommend trying to backport the module (too much effort), 
but you might get away with making some changes to get it up and 
avoiding "dangerous" areas, e.g. the panels that use those properties 
for instance. (That error looks like the dd properties could not 
refresh, so the module is probably already "installed". Try going to 
modules module admin and checking what its status is)
