Thanks for the clarification. All I can say is that downloading the  
tarball SVN snapshots from <http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xetex/>  
and <http://scripts.sil.org/svn-view/xdvipdfmx/> then building and  
installing did work for me on a variety of setups:

- teTeX-based i-Package on a PPC Mac

- TeXLive-based i-Package on a PPC Mac

- TeXLive-based i-Package on an Intel Mac

In all cased this involved:

- cd'ing for XeTeX to the TRUNK directory of the unarchived xetex  
source snapshot, then executing:

	sh build-xetex
	sudo sh install-xetex

- cd-ing for xdvipdfmx to the TRUNK directory of the unarchived  
xdvipdfmx source snapshot, then executing:

	sh configure --with-kpathsea=/usr/local/TeXLive
	  --with-ft2lib=/usr/local/lib/libfreetype.a
	  --with-ft2include=/usr/local/include/freetype2
	make
	sudo make install
