First try if these programs work:

Open "Terminal" and enter

xelatex --version

if that works, start emacs from the terminal:

/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs &

this should start the GUI emacs.
(Your path may vary.)

From this emacs you can now export the pdf.

You may want to define an alias to call emacs.

An alternative would be to hardcode the path in custom.el

 '(org-latex-pdf-process (quote ("/usr/texbin/xelatex -interaction nonstopmode 
-output-directory %o %f" "/usr/texbin/xelatex -interaction nonstopmode 
-output-directory %o %f")))

Of course you can do this using the customize interface.
