At least a microcontroller is needed. Either arduino or a PIC or etc

Yup! a microcontroller is need to process the data receive from XBee, forward, backward, speed, etc

If you don't want to use Arduino or any other microcontroller, how are you going to drive the motor from XBee? XBeee is just a wireless interface.

Well, it depends 8-)

If it is simple control using push button and potentiometer for speed, that is possible without microcontroller, still you will need a motor driver.

XBee can be configured as standalone IO device, you can check one of our DIY project, PR20, XBee - Standalone Control and Monitoring, download the Detailed Description, it explains quite comprehensive about setting the Xbee.
