Update: Following this guide for ubuntu 14.04 -> http://softlit.blogspot.com/2014/05/xenserver-62-and-ubuntu-1404-lts.html I used the ubuntu server edition and then of course discovered cloudstack already has an iso called "xs-tools.iso" which has the guest additions. I installed those and I can now live migrate - woohoo!
Something worth noting though is that even though I'm able to live migrate the option "XenServer Tools Version 6.1+" under the instance's "Details" is still showing "No".

Under "Details" of the instance it does actually state "XenServer > Tools Version 6.1+ No" so I guess thats my problem right there.
