It's not clear to me if you are talking about MMIO registers or X86 I/O
address space ports.

With xl you can use "ioports = [...]" and "iomem = [...]" in your domain
configuration. IIRC xend only supported ioports.

iomem only works at the page granularity though, so if you use that you
will be exposing the entire page containing the ports, which may be a
problem depending on what shares that page. If you can use the I/O
address space to access these registers that would probably be
preferable for that reason.
