As far as I know you cannot (yet) use XeTeX with MetaPost (mpost) 
directly. What you can do, however, is create a ConTeXt document 
embedding MetaPost code and using XeTeX as a typesetting engine (texexec 
--xtx source.tex). ConTeXt is much more integrated with MetaPost than 
LaTeX. Here is a minimal example:
