Yes, or has very similar meaning. At least I think so :-)
Domain0 is the same as the "host OS" in VMware, another domains are 
"guest OSes".

"to port" means to rewrite portions of code of some program so it will 
run on, eg., another platform. "Porting xen" means rewriting some 
machine-dependent parts of OS' kernel code to work under xen. This is 
job for experienced programmers, not for you. Linux has been ported 
already :-), so you won't have to bother with it.
