Unfortunately, anybody who knows the answer to that question isn't allowed to answer it in public.
The XDK is separate from the DirectX SDK, though obviously they both have DirectX 9 included and several of the tools and APIs (PIX, XACT, XInput) are now becoming common.
However for Managed DirectX to be a part of the XDK it would indeed require the .Net framework to be ported to a different hardware platform which IMO sounds like a lot of work.

Hum, will .NET Framework be implemented for XBox OS

Nothing specifically.
Its like asking what role C# express plays in the Developer Tools Suite. Managed DIrectX is just one of the DirectX APIs available. So MDX is jsut a part of it. I guess you could say that its role is to provide managed programmers access to the platform, but thats kind of obvious.
