For (font) MAP files it's easy, either private

	kpsewhich -show-path=.map -engine=xetex | tr : '\n' | grep $USER | sort

or for the system

	kpsewhich -show-path=.map -engine=xetex | tr : '\n' | grep texmf-local | sort

(to be executed on a command line). TEC files are not yet found by kpsewhich. Them and their text version MAP files are mostly stored under /usr/local/texlive/2011/texmf-dist/fonts/misc/xetex/fontmapping and then some subdirectory. So you could shoose

	~/Library/texmf/fonts/misc/xetex/fontmapping/<mine>

or

	/usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/fonts/misc/xetex/fontmapping/<mine>

If you choose to install in the system's local area you need to use elevated privileges (sudo) and finish with

	sudo texhash /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local
