Are shimano XT BB cartridges still available with square taper?

Yes. Wiggle would call it something like:
Shimano UN72/3 Bottom Bracket - Tapered Shell 68 Axle 122.5
^^=XT^ ^^=square taper^^=BB width ^^=length

Duno, but I just fitted a 127mm long square taper UN72 BB to my tourer, and
if that's not long enough then you're into Royce and some serious wad :-)

That sounds like the sort of length which could lead to bow leggedness!
