Simulink does have the capability of using a text-based approach to 
inputting parameters in blocks, even to building block diagrams.

One has to just look at the .m file created by Simulink to get an idea 
of the structure.

Specifically for entering parameters in a block, use the function:
	set_param     ref: Simulink Manual pg 3-32, 4-131

I'm not sure how useful this will be in your translating from Xanalog to
Siimulink, but it is certainly extremely useful in doing parametric
studies.

I whole-heartedly agree with your ocntention on a common structure for blocks
and remember seeing such a structure proposed in one of the CACSD newsletters.

If anyone at Mathworks is reading this group PLEASE listen to this.  Having 
an open interface structure will make it so much easier (ie possible) to 
automate interfaces between various applications
