Yes, you shouldn't.

You use independent config file which may be placed
anywhere and pass the pass to it in th command line
of the yum.

%# apt-get install yum
%# yum -c /tmp/yum-xen.conf --installroot=/mnt -y groupinstall Base


Ok, now it works. 


After the installation will be finished 
do not forget to make last steps I've described earlier

(that is
mkdir /mnt/{dev,proc,etc}
for i in console null zero ; do /sbin/MAKEDEV -d /mnt/dev -x $i ; done
mv /mnt/lib/tls /mnt/lib/tls-disabled
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
cp -R /lib/modules/2.6.*xen* /mnt/lib/modules/
sudo chroot /mnt
bash-3.1# pwconv
bash-3.1# passwd
bash-3.1# exit
umount /mnt
)
