You are correct. The Windows supplicant on XP SP2 supports PEAP-MSCHAPv2 
otherwise known as PEAPv0 and EAP-TLS. If you want to use EAP-TTLS you 
have a few choices. You can use a commercial supplicant like Funk 
Odyssey Access Client (30 day free trial here: 
http://www.juniper.net/customers/support/products/oac.jsp. It's a great 
supplicant and supports EAP-TTLS, PEAPv0, PEAPv1, EAP-TLS, EAP-SIM, 
EAP-GTC etc. You also may want to check if your wireless card has its 
own supplicant that supports TTLS. Most new laptops come with an Intel 
Centrino chipset and Intel's Proset Wireless supplicant does support 
TTLS. It's also faster and has more features than the MS supplicant.

If these aren't available options, why not just use PEAP-MSCHAPv2? If 
you're just doing username/password authentication this should work 
fine. PEAP and TTLS are very similar in nature and PEAP is supported in 
OS X and in the Windows supplicant.
