I just got a Roku stick yesterday, have not played with it much, but I was really hoping to be able to load XBMC on it.
Not going to happen. You may be able to get Plex though. I know you can on the regular Rokus.
If you want XBMC your best bet is either the Amazon Fire TV/Stick or a jailbroken Apple TV.

I have a roku stick and it definitely has plex. I can't say enough about how easy to use the Roku stick has proven to be. Partnered with Plex, it took less than a day to set up and runs perfect.
