Yes, using BLASTX with the Biopython XML parser does seem to work.
In fact the NCBI (now) documentation explicitly lists blastn, blastp,
blastx, tblastn and tblastx so I updated Biopython's qblast function
to allow them too. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/BLAST/Doc/node43.html
Fixed in Bio/Blast/NCBIWWW.py revision 1.50 - better late than never?
