Oh, I think I misunderstood. You wanted to know if it normal to run into
problems if you load graphicx and xcolor with different drivers. Well
yes: graphicx and xcolor share the same set of driver files. 

so 
\usepackage[xetex]{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{xcolor}

will load dvipdfmx.def after xetex.def and overwrite all or at least
most of its definitions. At the best you will have something equivalent
to 

\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{graphicx}
\usepackage[dvipdfmx]{xcolor}

But is also possible to get a mixture of xetex.def and dvipdfmx.def
settings that mess up everything.
