Yes, what you are after is a Compur II 5/2 shutter.
Used with the Symmar 240/5,6 and Tele-Arton 240, and a few other
I've got shutters from both and they work like a charm with the Xenotar.
The shutters limit apertures to about 3.0 though.
And the fastest time is 1/200 if you are lucky (1/100 and 1/200 is about the same on mine). So a ND filter is a good idea, at least of you want to shoot wide open in daytime and outdoors.
And here http://www.largeformatphotography.in...63&postcount=1 you can find specs for it
I mainly use my 150 F2.8 Xenotar wide open. Mine is in a Plaubel Makiflex Automatic iris mount. I use a YG and a 4XND, or a deep red, when shooting with this lens.

As mentioned above, a Symmar convertible 240/5.6 in Compur II will work. In addition, the 240mm Symmar (but not Symmar-S) in a Copal 3 shutter will also work. It has adapters that can be removed from the Symmar elements and used with a Xenotar.
Thank you lassethomas. I have bought myself a Symmar 240mm 5.6 in a Linhof version shutter.
I prefer the Compur 2 over the compur 3 becouse I can get it lower on a lensboard.
My 355mm f9 Repro-Claron also resides in a Compur 2 shutter
165 Angulon uses #2 shutter also.

Could it also be that you should mill your Xenotar down bij 2x 2mm?
The lens on a 'normal' aperture from top to bottom was 77mm, in the compur 2 shutter it's 81mm. If you don't change the lens messing body your front and rear groups are spaced incorrect and wil increase focal distance. By increasing focal distance the F-stop lowers.
The iris on my aperture only normal, and the aperture on the compur 2 are both 35mm.
I'm over the moon with the result. Got a perfect working xenotar on my linhof for under €800
