This would only make sense when using xdvipdfmx as convertor for XDV  
to PDF. It looks as if your installation of XeTeX is incomplete, or  
you have been confused by using [dvipdfm] or [dvipdfmx] as option for  
this or that package. Usually such an option is obsolete ... but I  
seem to remember  that hyperref uses the dvipdfm model for XeTeX, too.

One thing is certain: RequireXeTeX is defined in ifxetex.sty. If this  
file is missing it might explain your first error – but shouldn't  
XeTeX complain about the missing file first? Or do you have an old  
ifxetex.sty file? (Mine is from middle of August.)

In case this second error persists, can you give us an example your  
code?
