No, if anything it could be the other way around. Xen wants to use the (sole) VGAish thing in the system; Dom0 kernel and Dom0 userspace (X) may be happy to use any secondary (non-VGA) graphics card. On EFI it might in principle be possible, but that would require (perhaps quite a bit of) work in Xen. Jan
