\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont[Mapping=mapname]{fontname}

or

\fontspec[Mapping=mapname]{fontname}

TCX tables are used in pdftex and the table is used for the whole
document (and cannot be changed). TECkit map is applied in XeTeX per
font and can even be replaced (eg in a group) by
\addfontfeatures{Mapping=mapname}.
