Xunicode  most certainly does *not* require the tipa package, 
just the file  t3enc.def  for the font encoding that  tipa.sty  uses.
This is so that constructions from  tipa.sty  can be replaced by
their Unicode equivalents, enabling older documents using TIPA
constructions to be processed correctly.

Not sure why TIPA isn't part of your TeX installation anyway.
If there is a good reason for this, I can adjust that part
of  xunicode.sty  to bypass this dependency and the
accompanying TIPA functionality.

Have you tried a version of TeX from TeX Live that is 
a bit more advanced than  BasicTeX ?

Parsing to find the font name has failed somehow here.
Someone else can comment.
