I just read on ctan.org that template and xparse are part of the xbase bundle, which itself seems to be part of the xpackages bundle. The xpackages bundle in turn requires the expl3 bundle. FWIW, I just installed the expl3 and xpackages bundles into my own ~/texmf/tex/latex directory, and xfrac seems to working now.

The packages are in texlive-latex3, but the versions there are from 1999 while xfrac needs at least the 2001 versions.
