Hi Adam,
sure, you've mentioned AGaramondPro.
But I have the AGaramond+Expert fonts (Type1) installed in my texmf
tree with Walther Schmidts TFM and VF files (see the padxxxx-files in
the typescript I've sent).
http://www.dante.de/CTAN/fonts/metrics/w-a-schmidt/pad.zip
(or in general but German http://home.vr-web.de/was/fonts.html)
And this is the crucial point: for theses files provide e.g.
optimized (German) kerning information (and more) I really don't want
to miss them!
And I have absolutely no idea how to access theses files.
Isn't is possible when processing with XeTeX to continue using those
precious hand-made virtual fonts?

Hi Steffen,
You're pretty close. It's best not to rewrite your old scripts, rather, to make a new type-enc style script to replace your existing [serif] [agaramond][ec] script. This way, when changing engines, it's a simple step of changing the (default, perhaps?) encoding...
\starttypescript [serif] [agaramond] [uc] % XeTeX and Unicode is a happy combination \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Regular]
