Am I getting screwed?

Why is my dealer trying to charge for labor on acessories I ordered? Isn't that included in the accessory price when a new car is purchased?

nope, accesories are not installed. any labor to install is extra

I was told by my salesman that accessories would be installed for free with a purchase, but I didn't test that statement since they didn't have the Sirius receiver that I wanted.

Installation is separate. If your dealership doesn't charge you, then you are in luck!!! Grabbed from BMW site:

" To order Original BMW Accessories, contact your local BMW center. All prices are manufacturer's suggested retail prices and are subject to change. Actual prices may vary and depend upon BMW center. Prices exclude taxes and installation costs. Check with your authorized BMW center for complete information, availability and installation costs. "

Yup, if your getting labor thrown in then it's just complimentary. Dealers usually charge labor for parts you buy from them even if it's bought at the same time you buy the car.
