The likeliest candidate is a Microsoft ActiveX binary. Likely it's a product of the source in the package, and you can ignore it.

The alternative is a mid-1980s MultiMate word-processing file. <http://www.fileformat.info/ext/d.htm> The app never made it to Windows, and Borland killed it decades ago. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MultiMate>
If it is, you won't get high-fidelity viewing, unless there's a format converter somewhere (you can Google for it). Good text editors will tolerate interspersed binary, so you can safely have a look, or you could do a hex dump of the first 1024 bytes or so. If text extraction looks promising, <x-man-page://1/strings>.
This is a long explanation of an unlikely alternative, but I have too much sunk cost in the research I did.

The only file unique to Doxygen is a plain-text configuration file, conventionally named Doxyfile. Doxygen ships with a "wizard" to make it easier to configure.

If Xcode ever supported Doxygen directly, it escaped my notice, and it's the sort of thing I'm supposed to notice.
Xcode recognizes (I think) the HeaderDoc syntax, which is a sister to Doxygen by way of JavaDoc. `apropos headerdoc`, also search the Xcode documentation. Xcode passes unrecognized Doxygen syntax uninterpreted.
There's a build setting that will lint documentation comments.
