I ran into the same problem trying to compile an Universal Binary for  
32- and 64-bit architectures on Leopard. The function ATSUGetAttribute  
is in /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk/System/Library/Frameworks/ 
ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/QD.framework/ 
Versions/A/Headers/ATSUnicodeObjects.h inside a '#if !__LP64__' clause  
and has this documentation:

  *  Availability:
  *    Mac OS X:         in version 10.0 and later in  
ApplicationServices.framework [32-bit only]
  *    CarbonLib:        in CarbonLib 1.0 and later
  *    Non-Carbon CFM:   in ATSUnicodeLib 8.5 and later

Invoking

g++ -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -arch ppc64 -dM -E - < / 
dev/null | grep _LP64
g++ -isysroot /Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -arch x86_64 -dM -E - < / 
dev/null | grep _LP64

both show

	#define __LP64__ 1

So XeTeX on the Mac is a 32-bit only application.
