I had given this some thought, but not actually tried it yet.

If you just unzip your mfs and treat it as a file backed block device it may 
work. 
(Have a look at the live 2.06 demo CD that has a freebsd.fs file it uses this
way).

However you will run into another problem. sysinstall doesn't know about
xbd* or xn*. You will at least need to add then to 
/usr/src/usr.sbin/sysinstall/devices.c and recompile before sysinstall is
usefull under xen.
