gentoo genkernel is just a script to compile + install a kernel with a 
predefined .config, no magic involved...

Look into that script, find out how it generates the initrd (most likely it 
just calls mkinitrd with the right params for the freshly installed kernel) 
and execute those steps yourself for your own xen kernel.
