Says dvips doesn't know which PostScript font file to associate with  
the metrics pzdr.tfm.

Says pdfTeX and dvipdfm know the metrics is associated with uzdr.pfb.

What puzzles me is that XeTeX should call xdvipdfmx which I suppose  
uses dvipdfm.map. Hence there should be no problem.

I ran the minimal example just posted

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}
\fontfamily{pzd}\fontencoding{U}\selectfont abc
\end{document}

on my Mac, using XeTeX + xdvipdfmx, and the output is normal without  
any error. Odd!
