Wow! It's as simple as

\usepackage[minionint,mathlf]{MinionPro}% <- MinionPro loads MnSymbol
\usepackage[no-math]{fontspec}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\defaultfontfeatures{Mapping=tex-text}
\setmainfont[Numbers=Lowercase]{Minion Pro}

and everything is in MnSymbol and Minion Pro!

(For lucbmath, though, it's better \usepackage[cm-default]{fontspec};  
otherwise, mathrm and numerals come out in Computer Modern.)

Thank you very much! And thanks to Bruno Voisin for his findings!


Best,
