I think /sw/etc/texmf-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf is created by xetex.info or a similar package before, not in InstallScript but in PostInstScript.

I added the line for fmtutil.cnf. Thank you. I believe updmap.cfg should not be removed so that previously-installed packages such as utf-fontfiles/otf-fontfiles can be continuously used. If updmap.cfg is removed, the packages couldn't be used until they are re-installed. Unlike fmtutil-sys, updmap-sys --syncwithtrees is executed in the PostInstScript, so I think it's ok without removing updmap.cfg. The command will automatically comment out unavailable maps. > I'll go now back to 10.6/64bit and try to see how to compile xetex.

I hope we find good news.
