            <fruits>
                <fruit>
                    <fruit-name>Mango</fruit-name>
                </fruit>
                <fruit>
                    <fruit-name>Apple</fruit-name>
                </fruit>
                <fruit>
                    <fruit-name>Banana</fruit-name>

This will do the trick:

<xhtml:table>
    <xforms:repeat nodeset="fruits/fruit[position() mod 2 = 1]">
        <xhtml:tr>
            <xhtml:td><xforms:output value="fruit-name"/></xhtml:td>
            <xhtml:td><xforms:output value="following-sibling::fruit/fruit-name"/></xhtml:td>
        </xhtml:tr>
    </xforms:repeat>
</xhtml:table>
