With respect to this, one can use Pacifist to show what was installed.

xdv2pdf, xetex to /usr/local/teTeX/bin/powerpc-apple-darwin-current
and soft links to xeinitex and xevirtex (both to xetex)

the usual cmb10.otf through msbm7.otf and in between to  
/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/fonts/otf

xetex.pool and xetex.xfmt to /usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c
and a softlink from plain.xfmt to xetex.xfmt

That's all it claims to install.
