No, Xen assumes an Intel architecture. I (personally) don't think Xen will ever be extended to work on a mainframe. Given the very low cost of z/VM, I would suggest you just go that route.

If not, will it be possible in the future? Or will z/VM be the only "hypervisor" able to virtualize the zSeries hardware? Thanks!
