That was the xdvipdfmx landscape option. On Mac OS X, with xdv2pdf  
rather than xdvipdfmx, it would be

   xelatex -papersize=a6:landscape

That's odd; it worked when I tried a small example. To be precise:

%%%%%%
\documentclass[landscape,a6paper]{scrartcl}
\usepackage{geometry}

\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setromanfont{Lucida Grande}

\begin{document}
Some text
\end{document}
%%%%%%

gives me a landscape A6 PDF file. Guess I need to investigate some  
more......
