You might be able to do this using the "Build Rules" settings in Xcode. (project settings > target settings > Build Rules > click Copy to Target for the file type you are interested in)

Xcode honors SWIFT_LIBRARY_PATH and SWIFT_EXEC in project settings, but that is designed to substitute the entire Swift toolchain, not just the Swift compiler itself. SWIFT_EXEC might work if your wrapper script lives next to swiftc in the filesystem.
