I've looked at this and managed to get ps4pdf.sty bypass its hardwired
\RequirePackage[pdftex]{graphicx}, to replace it by
\RequirePackage[xetex]{graphicx}. Alas, the result doesn't work:
commands which, I assume, are defined by pstricks.sty, aren't
recognized (using ps4pdf-test.tex as a test):
! Undefined control sequence.

I won't be able to spend more time on this, but in any case that
doesn't look good.
BTW, with XeTeX 0.9 (with the i-Installer install), texmf.cnf needs to
be changed to reflect the changes in the XeTeX tree:
TEXINPUTS.xelatex = .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xetex,latex,generic,}//
must be changed to
TEXINPUTS.xelatex = .;$TEXMF/{xetex,tex}/{xelatex,latex,generic,}//
Namely, change at least the second xetex to xelatex.
