As I said a few days ago, the [no-math] option is really wonderful --- 
it's as easy as

\usepackage[<your options>]{MinionPro}% <- MinionPro loads MnSymbol
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
etc.

The important thing is to load MinionPro, *not* MnSymbol. Of course,  
you have to install the whole MinionPro package: if you examine with  
Adobe Reader or Acrobat a good example typeset this way (like the AMS  
article usually employed as math example), you'll see that some  
characters are taken from the *.PBFs installed by the MinionPro package.
