So I tried it myself. It took actually a lot less effort than I
expected!

I downloaded the current xen kernel from (1), search for kernel-xen, and used 
alien to extract it (alien -g).
The package also contains xen itself, I think, so don't convert and install!
I manually copied part of /boot from the rpm and /lib/modules/2.6.25-something 
to the appropriate places.

The xen block driver is a module again, xen-blkfront. So I had to add that to 
/etc/initramfs/modules.
First boot I had to find out that the block device is now named xvdb1 instead 
of sdb1.
Second boot worked just fine. Including the network

That all took less than 15 minutes afer I found the rpm.

Now if somebody would compare the code in Ubuntu with the srpm from
(2)...
