It is not necessary to use hyperref, it is sufficient to put all fields to a \spacial primitive, i.e. \special{pdf:docinfo << /Creator (XeTeX) ... >>} Add other required fields such as /Title, /Author, /Subject, /Keywords instead of the three dots. I am not sure what happens if the \special is used several times, it seems to me that the new fields are appended, i.e. if you specify only /Title in the first \special and only /Author in the second one, the PDF file will contain both. However, I have not tried.
