Probably --shell-escape is not necessary for PSTricks in XeTeX.
XeTeX writes \special commands and the driver xdvipdfmx
outputs them with the help of Ghostscript.

The example

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{pstricks}
\begin{document}
\begin{pspicture}(0,0)(2,2)
\psline(0,0)(1,1)
\end{pspicture}
\end{document}

worked with shell_escape = f as follows:

This is XeTeX, Version 3.1415926-2.2-0.999.0 (Web2C 7.5.6)

The Ghostscript option -dSAFER forbids to run
an absolute path file. Therefore the option cannot be used
for the Ghostscript command line in dvipdfmx.cfg.
