I realy use classes:

I recive from on class the string:

string OutClass = "xpto. <BR>";

and i use the XElement() in another class.

Just do this

noticia.Add(new XElement("Imagem", new XElement("BR")));

However that will give you an extra / which you NEED or it's not valid XML. 

<Imagem><BR/></Imagem>

The other options is using CDATA

noticia.Add(new XElement("Imagem", new XCData("<BR>")));

Which will get you

<Imagem><![CDATA[<BR>]]></Imagem>

Just generating <Imagem><BR></Imagem> is impossible as it's not valid xml.

EDIT: If you have the string with other text, in a variable, your only option is CDATA, like this

var OutClass = "xpto. <BR>";
noticia.Add(new XElement("Imagem", new XCData(OutClass)));

Which results in 

<Imagem><![CDATA[xpto. <BR>]]></Imagem>
