This is what worked for me (from memory). I unpacked a fresh copy of 
linux 2.6.10 source, and then did:
# First make and install xen and the tools
cd xen-2.0-testing
make xen tools
cd ..

# Then make and install the kernel
cp -a --reply=yes xen-2.0-testing/linux-2.6.10-xen-sparse/* linux-2.6.10
cp .config linux-2.6.10
cd linux-2.6.10

Now you can either do
 make xconfig ARCH=xen
or
 make oldconfig ARCH=xen

make ARCH=xen
cp vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.10-xen

# Then edit bootloader configuration
nano /etc/grub.conf

Note that Xen will automatically remove items in your kernel config which 
it thinks won't work.
