There is the mysterious
--optionfile <optionfile> Installation option file
with no documentation I could find (which would be combined with --mode unattended).
Otherwise, I've had some success with the hackish echo -e "YNYnY" | <command> where <command> will be sudo ./xampp-linux-1.8.3-5-installer.run. (N.B. I've done the installing EMC Networker, not XAMPP.)
