You can TRY that...  but keep in mind that Javier Guerra 
indicated that it won't work very well.
"this should work, but it's well known that the kqemu extension 
doesn't work on
top of Xen; therefore qemu runs on "full emulation mode"

I was using Xen on Debian and I installed my Guest OS by using 
debootstrap.  If you have that available, that was by far the 
best method I found for installing a Guest OS.  I really have no 
idea if that program is a Debian thing or if it's common to all 
Linux distributions.  (Anyone want to answer that...?)
I think you can also install a Guest OS off a CD as normal.  In 
fact, I kind of recall that being mentioned as a possibility in 
the Xen manual.  But you'd probably have to be very careful... 
I'd imagine most install CD's will probably want to repartition 
your hard drive and take over your system.
