[XeTeX] Getting LaTeX math font packages to work?

Until TFM files for OpenType math fonts are available, I've been trying to
get standard LaTeX math packages to work with XeTeX, with rather mixed
success.
If I load the mathtime package:
\usepackage{mathtime}
BEFORE I declare OpenType text fonts:
\DeclareFontFamily{U}{AdobeGaramondPro}{}
\DeclareFontShape{U}{AdobeGaramondPro}{m}{n}%
{<-> "Adobe\space Garamond\space Pro:+onum"}{}
...
then I get the following error:
kpathsea: Running mktextfm Adobe
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Could not map source
abbreviation A for Adobe. /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf/web2c/mktexnam: Need

If I load the mathtime package AFTER the OpenType font declarations, I
avoid the error. HOWEVER, all of the mathtime glyphs are offset in the
resulting PDF. Omegas show up in place of thetas, left angled brackes are
replaced by right angled brackets, etc. (The mathpi package exhibits a
similar offset with mathbb, mathscr and mathfrak fonts.)
The mathtime fonts are active in Mac OS (and the corresponding .pfb fonts
are in the appropriate font directory in the TDS), and are listed in
psfonts.map.
Any suggestions would be welcome; I am also prepared to use the Lucida New
Math fonts, if someone has managed to get them to work with XeTeX.
Thanks,
