Xen isn't supported by the upstream Linux kernel. Even the upcoming 2.6.23 kernel doesn't have dom0 functionality. Xen is a complex piece of shiat that's why. KVM for Intel VT and AMD-V is integrated into the kernel, it should be a better alternative. If I remember correctly even FreeBSD is porting it. Anyway Xen has a niche on machines without hardware virtualization.
I think you could also run Xen guests on KVM, do some research.
