I guess I'll answer myself, from Citrix XenServer Administrator's Guide, 
page 48:
4.4.3. Creating Networks in Resource Pools
All XenServer hosts in a resource pool should have the same number of 
physical network interface cards (NICs), although this requirement is 
not strictly enforced when a XenServer host is joined to a pool.

The relationship between physical interfaces and a pool-wide network is 
done by physical interface device name. It seems possible to have 
different PIF setup on different hosts, that can be tricky, but nothing 
catastrophic.
