Honestly, I think something other than D20 would probably work better 
for X-Com.  Though the D20 SRD probably wouldn't be too bad, just take 
it and convert it some, like Mutants and Masterminds did.  But I'm sure 
some other system would work better, to match the stats in the game more.

Besides, if you want alien hunting, there's always GURPS Black Ops. 
Though they're definitely a good bit better than most X-Com rookies.  Heh.

	And don't forget Snapshot, the board game on which X-Com's
combat system is based...

And, if anyone is interested, there is a Snapshot mod for The War Engine

For those preferring RPG rules - try BITS's Close Quarters rulebooklet.
