You're right; the XeTeX package has not been updated for the Intel
Macs yet.... if I could get my hands on one for testing, it might
have happened sooner! ;-)
I'm informed by those fortunate enough to have new machines that it
runs OK on them, and the current development version builds and runs
natively, too. So I hope to include Intel binaries in the next
release, with an updated installer. Sorry for the inconvenience in
the meantime!
