Ha! I just tried it in Windows, and it uses TeXShop's syntax:
% !TEX TS-program = xelatex
% !TEX encoding = UTF-8
TS-program stands for TeXShop program! You can see it like this: choose File -> New from Template... and it will open a window with different templates; choose XeLaTeX documents -> article-fontspec.tex and the typesetting format will change automatically to XeLaTeX!
