Did you read the link I sent? It converts physical machines to Xen
guests by way of Vmware.
Since you ALREADY have a vmware guest, I made the comment "start reading
from RunMergeIDE".

Basically, converting vmware to Xen guests involve:
- installing IDE controller (Xen HVM presents disk as IDE, while VMware
by default uses SCSI)
- converting disk format from VMDK to raw (other formats might be usable
if your Xen supports tap:vmdk or tap:qemu)
- creating a suitable Xen config
