.... | xargs --replace=XXX chmod a+x \'XXX\'

(--replace is probably GNU only, but the '-i' equivalent is more
widespread)

However, this also invokes chmod once per file, so you don't gain
anything over "each". But it might be useful if you find yourself on a
machine w/o your custom command.

The other way, if you can coerce your input to end each filename in '\0'
rather than space/newline, is to use the '--null' (or '-0') option for
xargs.
