Here you could try to invoke, in a second shell, 'sudo texhash' to make your
TeX installation aware of all its files. You can, before and after, verify with
'kpsewhich xetex.def' whether the file xetex.def can be found (kpsewhich works
like any TeX executable would work in respect to the way TeX related files are
searched). Finally you can use the locate utility (or find, which just needs
more time) to determine whether xetex.def really exists. If not, you'll have to
report that bug! But wait, you might check first the state of your TeX software:
Actually it might be possible to use the tlmgr (TeX Live [distribution]
Manager) script to update your TeX installation. You'll have to use the sudo
command to gain super user privileges. It might also be possible that you check
the OpenBSD Ports site and/or the TeX Live site to determine which repository
has to be used for updating (sudo tlmgr --repository *url|path*). Tlmgr can
also use X11 and open a GUI when invoked as 'sudo tlmgr --gui &' (it needs
PerlTK). The first step should be to check the repository set whether it's the
right one. Then make tlmgr update itself (sudo tlmgr [--repository *url|path*]
--update --self). With the now potentially updated tlmgr utility you can check
whether updates exist: sudo tlmgr [--repository *url|path*] --update --list.
When you think it's the right time for an update substitute the "list" with
"all". (The report from xetex "(TeX Live 2010-OpenBSD_Ports)" seems to indicate
that you are not using the TL '11 edition but it's preview. In that case tlmgr
might fail to work or you'll have to supply with the URL to the TL '11
repository.)

The command 'echo $PATH' can show you where your shell searches fro
executables. You can also invoke 'which xetex' which will show you which (of
the potentially many xetex executables) is found and used.
