If I understand what you are asking, I think margins does this:

margins, by(hiprice)
sysuse auto.dta
xtile hiprice=price, nq(2)
logistic foreign hiprice mpg
margins, by(hiprice)


------------------------------------------------------------------------------
             |            Delta-method
             |     Margin   Std. Err.      z    P>|z|     [95% Conf. Interval]
-------------+----------------------------------------------------------------
     hiprice |
          1  |   .2162162   .0557663     3.88   0.000     .1069163    .3255161
          2  |   .3783784   .0681487     5.55   0.000     .2448094    .5119474
------------------------------------------------------------------------------


note this margin estimates are the same as the means of phat:

logistic foreign hiprice mpg
predict phat
tabulate hiprice, summ(phat)


2 quantiles |       Summary of Pr(foreign)
   of price |        Mean   Std. Dev.       Freq.
------------+------------------------------------
          1 |   .21621622   .23645819          37
          2 |   .37837838   .25520846          37
------------+------------------------------------
      Total |    .2972973   .25759862          74
