From my research it looks like the first generation of the Volvo XC90 runs from 2002 - present (2014) with a minor facelift in 2007. The installation process is same as either the 2004 or 2007 for your 2006 Volvo.
The installation of this Curt # 13559 hitch does not require additional drilling, it does require minor fascia trimming. It is recommended to temporarily lower the exhaust and spare tire for installing this hitch. I would think that one helper would suffice.
I have included a link to the installation instructions and a helpful article that details trailer hitch installation tips for you.
If you'll be towing with your XC90, you'll need a few other products to complete your towing system"
