While annoying, this message is benign and you can safely ignore it. 
When XCP 1.1 final comes out, there will be a "xapi version override" 
file that will let you tell XCP to pretend that it's XenServer (it's a 
terrible hack, but it fixes the problem).

If you'd prefer something else that (should) run on OSX, try 
OpenXenManager (http://sourceforge.net/projects/openxenmanager/) a free 
clone of XenCenter written in Python. It's not as polished as XenCenter, 
but it does the job.

It was a design decision to give XCP different versions than XenServer. 
There are quite a few places in XenCenter where it checks for hard-coded 
version numbers to see if it's talking to a version of XenServer that 
supports certain features. It's a low priority for the XenCenter team to 
change this, and other than faking that XCP is XenServer, there's not 
much to do on the XCP side.
