I'm sure it is, but notice the path you posted, and the path I posted are different:

/Applications/Xastir.app/Contents/MacOS/Resources/share/xastir/config/xastir.rgb   <----  Your Path
/Applications/Xastir.app/Contents/Resources/share/xastir/config/xastir.rgb         <----  My Path

If you want to see things on the command line:

cd /Applications/Xastir.app/Contents
MacOS/xastir

This will make sure that @executable_path is set right.

You can try Curt's suggestion, but like this:

cd /Applications/Xastir.app/Contents
MacOS/xastir -v 4095

The code for my MacOS binary is modified (xa_config.c line 425 or so.  Patches available on my web site) so that it uses _NSGetExecutablePath at runtime to figure out where the config directory is.  In retrospect, I may want to change this since when I first implemented it, I wasn't aware that Xastir hard coded paths into the config file.  Technically, most of this stuff should be in ~/Library/Application Support/Xastir, but this is going to require extensive modifications to the "run for the fist time" code to install the share directory into there, or use some sort of nasty installer.
