I bought one today to help monitor my newly repaired engine. Are there any tricks for the programing the X-Gauge portion of this unit so as to monitor certain items on the 6.0?
Where did you mount your gauge?
Sure there is. Here is a little video to help with entering Xgauges:

And here is a short list of some of the ones I have entered in mine for my 6.0l. In most of these you will find the readings that each gauge should be. These are when the engine is up to operating temp.
KO = Key On Engine Off
LI = Low Idle
HI = High Idle (which for this is 2500 RPMs )
OR = Operating Range

Here is another BAR if the above one is not working for you. The one below works for me.

Manifold Absolute Pressure (PSI) (BOOST)

MAP is a standard gauge - but this XGauge is actually better than the standard one. It has a larger range which was needed because the standard gauge tops out around 37 psi absolute (about 22 lbs of boost), which diesels have no problem doing. This one should read well beyond 22lbs of boost.
With a little tweaking you can adjust this to read boost as you said.
To do this, just plug in the MAP code - get a reading from it with the key in the on position but the engine off, then based on the reading changed the last 4 digits of the MTH to whatever corresponds to your reading on this table
12.7 -- FF81
12.8 -- FF80
12.9 -- FF7F
13.0 -- FF7E
13.1 -- FF7D
13.2 -- FF7C
13.3 -- FF7B
13.4 -- FF7A
13.5 -- FF79
13.6 -- FF78
13.7 -- FF77
13.8 -- FF76
13.9 -- FF75
14.0 -- FF74
14.1 -- FF73
14.2 -- FF72
14.3 -- FF71
14.4 -- FF70
14.5 -- FF6F
14.6 -- FF6E
14.7 -- FF6D
14.8 -- FF6C
14.9 -- FF6B
15.0 -- FF6A
So, for example if you got a reading of 14.5 PSI with key on engine off you'd change the MTH to 01220320FF6F and the reading should read 0.0 with key on engine off and would then show how many lbs of boost you were at when the vehicle is running.
