It turns out that's not difficult to do, based on the information in  
/Library/teTeX/share/texmf.tetex/doc/latex/base/fntguide.dvi:

- Forget the two above lines:

	\renewcommand{\encodingdefault}{U}
	\renewcommand{\rmdefault}{FuturaCondensed}

- Define a new command \unit (assuming there's no pre-existing LaTeX  
command of the same name, I'm not sure) by:

	\DeclareTextFontCommand{\unit}%
		 
{\fontencoding{U}\fontfamily{FuturaCondensed}\fontseries{m}\fontshape{n} 
}

This will be used as \unit{KILOMeter}. In case you prefer a  
declarative-style command, to be used as {\unit KILOMeter}, define  
instead:

	\DeclareRobustCommand{\unit}{\usefont{U}{FuturaCondensed}{m}{n}}

By the way, you can't get small caps with Futura Condensed, as this  
font simply does not include any small caps form. This may be verified  
by typesetting -- in plain TeX -- the XeTeX sample file AAT-info.tex  
after adding in it the line:

	\def\fontname{Futura Condensed Medium}

Compare, for example, with the result obtained after defining \fontname  
as Hoefler Text.
