Just for the record: Which directory? Which TeX distribution?

Currently math support in XeTeX is not really different than in any
other TeX engine. The only limitation is that xdv2pdf, which I think is
still the default xdv-driver on Mac OS, does not support virtual fonts.
This is not the case for xdvipdfmx.

Do you use the LaTeX or the plain format (xelatex vs xetex) or some
other format? If you are using font available to other TeX as well, the
same methods used with these engines apply. If you are using LaTeX and
an OpenType (or, on a Mac, AAT) font, you can use fontspec.sty for
setting the font up. If the font contains small caps, \textsc{...} and
\scshape will work as expected. See the fontspec documentation for
details.
