If you can save your graphics as EPS files, I think that the simplest 
way is to use Thomas Esser's epstopdf.pl (it works on any platform). 
That script produces cropped PDFs and you need just a simple 
\includegraphics command in your XeLaTeX document. Here is a quotation 
from Esser's script that probably targets your problem:

#   b) it sets a page size exactly corresponding to the BoundingBox
# This means that when Ghostscript renders it, the result needs no
# cropping, and the PDF MediaBox is correct.
#   c) the result is piped to Ghostscript and a PDF version written
#
# It needs a Level 2 PS interpreter.
# If the bounding box is not right, of course, you have problems...
#
# The only thing I have not allowed for is the case of
# "%%BoundingBox: (atend)", which is more complicated.
