The XeTeX package installation process could mention something like 
file location (from a "readme" file within the package) and launching 
XeTeX from the command line with a -help parameter could display a few 
text lines (preferably at the end of the text, before "mail bug reports 
to nrsi at sil.org." with something like:

-----------
Documentation is located in ~/Library/wherever
Sample files are located in ~/Library/wherever
-----------

I don't think people who use TeX or XeTeX should be considered 
"beginning" users in terms of computer use, especially since XeTeX is a 
command line application. So maybe cli users are beginners when you 
consider the Aqua side of OSX, but otherwise they should be able to 
understand such basic information.
