.NET components in the existing .NET Framework are generally available through COM interop via CCWs. (Look in the .NET Components Category in OLEView, and you'll see that loads of the built-in components are exported this way.) So it is likely to be the same with the new stuff in WinFX.

  According to the article, Win32 is apparently still seperate from .Net but any new features of Avalon and any new features added to Windows will not have a Win32 API added.
  
  This article states that .Net based system, WinFX, will interact directly with the processor/Kernel to get the best performance unless the feature already exists in the Win32 side(Windows Forms).
