You are not supposed to attach to the console of an HVM-domain  
using xm console.
You should use vncviewer for it.

Although, if you really need it, 
you should set up the serial console
inside the guest domain and after 
that you may try to connect to it 
using xm console.

Here [1] an explanation how can you 
set up the serial console in FreeBSD.
