It isn't natively supported by Xen.
BUT you can propably simulate it like this:

Have your original domU on a LVM volume.
White it is running, create a snap-shot.
Copy the snap-shot to a new volume.
Remove the snap-shot.

Run repairs on the new volume as it might be inconsistent. In that case you
can either trust the repair utility or redo the copy part.

Start the new domU on the new volume.

  Steffen
