theoretically, jim will no doubt clarify but xray wavelength light needs high energy input so I'd say yes.

Well, no pressure on me then...

Yes, gases can be associated with X-ray emission if they are hot enough. Typically the sources we use are Electrons zapping metals at a particular energy; the required heat for gases to emit X-Rays appears to be of order 10,000,000 degrees Celsius, which are temperatures we can't really generate (in normal gases, at least) on Earth.

But these temperatures are generated in space and there are cosmic Xray sources.

Technically though they are not coming from gasses but from plasmas.
