Vertical output requires customed output routine, LaTeX packages
developed by Yin Dian provided such functions, please check:

If you invoke xelatex from command line, simply use

xelatex -output-driver="xdvipdfmx -q -E" foo.tex

will be fine. But if you are using TeXShop, it should create
~/Library/TeXShop/Engines/* on it's first launch.
