Well qtree also has seamless integration with tex 
document source, not to mention the easiest front 
end.  But it's trees sometimes need some 
tweaking.  It works fine with xelatex.

Also, pst-jtree seems to work with xelatex even 
though its pstricks based. (As Ulricke mentioned, 
xetex can handle some pstricks).

So there may be other options.
