No... Xilinx recommends not to use bus macros to transfer bidirectional 
signals in xapp290. In my work I haven't tried to but instead have used 
seperate connections for in, out and tristate enable signals and 
connected those to an iobuf-primitive. I think the problem is that the 
enable-signals for the tristate buffers on both sides of the bus macro 
have to be set simultaneously (so you never have more than one active 
driver on the bus), so you have to somehow get the enable-signal across 
the macro, which introduces considerable delay.
