If you want to use concrete like with pdflatex you should simply not
load fontspec:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{concrete}
\begin{document}
abc
$\pi$
\end{document}

And you should not use non-ascii chars in your input, they can fail.
Use command like \"a.

If you want to use also system fonts loaded with fontspec, you will
have to switch to T1-encoding everytime you want to use concrete and
back to EU1 for the system fonts. 

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{concrete}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setsansfont{Arial}
\begin{document}
\fontencoding{T1}\selectfont abc \"a

\fontencoding{EU1}\sffamily abc


$\pi$
\end{document}


If you have the type1-Version of the concrete fonts it could be
possible to load them with fontspec, but in generally there are
problems with accents etc.

On windows I can use 

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Palatino Linotype}
\begin{document}
abc

\end{document}
