I don't think Lucida math font support (as called by the lucidabr  
package) relies on virtual fonts. Virtual fonts are used only for  
Lucida text fonts, when called with the T1 encoding; if the LY1  
encoding is called, no virtual fonts are involved at all if I'm not  
mistaken.

Generally with OS X fonts in XeTeX I tend to use Lucida for maths.  
The Lucida fonts are bolder than Computer Modern, yielding better  
match with OS X fonts for text.

For example, the following works for me with XeTeX on the Mac and  
either xdv2pdf or xdvipdfmx:

\usepackage[LY1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[expert,vargreek,lucidasmallscale]{lucidabr}
\usepackage[cm-default]{fontspec}
\usepackage{xunicode,xltxtra}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text,Scale=MatchLowercase}
\setromanfont{Verdana}

yielding output like:
