As others have mentioned, you probably do not need nothing more than
activating the required hyphenation patterns from the MikTeX settings.
The reason that different entries exist for ancient (polytonic) and
modern (monotonic) greek exist is that there are slight differences in
some rules between the two "grammars"; so even if monotonic greek can
be considered a subset of polytonic, it wouldn't be hyphenated the
same all the time.
Yes, I know this. I use polyglossia as people have suggested, and it
does work; I just wanted to be sure that I was doing the best/most
recent/most correct for xetex thing, and to understand why there may be
different hyphenation files out there.

Thank you -- this answers that part of my question.
