Transparency is a feature of the xdv2pdf output driver which only  
works on Mac OS X.

In http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2009-January/011919.html Mojca  
Miklavec writes that she had success with XeConTeXt and xdvipdfmx and  
this code:

	\setupcolors[state=start]
	\definecolor[c1][r=1,t=.5,a=1]
	\definecolor[c2][g=1,t=.5,a=1]
	\definecolor[c3][b=1,t=.5,a=1]
	
	\def\test#1#2{\hbox to 1ex{\color[#1]{#2}\hss}}
	\starttext
	\hbox{\test{c1}{this}\test{c2}{is}\test{c3}{transparent}}
	\stoptext

ConTeXt obviously is able to create the correct \special's (?) code  
because it also can handle spot colours...

(The ConTeXt code definitions probably reside in the col-* files in / 
usr/local/texlive/2008/texmf-dist/tex/context/base.)
