Is xend chkconfig'd on and running?
No, and I don't see it's even installed (what is
package name?).

The package name is simply "xen".

# yum -y install xen
Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security
Setting up Install Process
No package xen available.

Why use the xen kernel, or bother with the related daemons, if you're not
using xen?

Great question; that's what installed from the RHEL CD set. We didn't choose it.

I really don't care either way. All I know is I rebooted the system after yum updated the kernel, and now I'm getting 30 e-mails an hour whining about xen I never got before. It'd be nice to stop them.

As a side note, as of 5.4, KVM virtualization is supported, meaning you
don't need a special kernel, for host or guests - much simpler, if
virtualization is where you're headed.

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
