I will be at XenSummit to give a talk titled "The Future of XCP".
Definitely come find me and we can talk about building xapi, etc. Also,
in the meantime, you may want to read this wiki page:

Currently the easiest way to build xapi is to use the xapi autobuilder
scripts at https://github.com/jonludlam/xapi-autobuilder . These require
a Debian Sid environment, so you may want to create a VM for this.
The build requirements are tricky to nail down because for the longest
time we have only built XCP inside of a very customized CentOS 5.5 i386
environment (or the same environment as a chroot on our dev machines).
When we get a little further with Project Kronos (xapi on Debian) we
should be able to completely specify build requirements for the whole
list of packages. Certainly the deb files will have a list of build
dependencies.
As for our CentOS build environment, here are some relevant versions:
