This is being actively tested by osstest, the Xen test system:

http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/125892/test-amd64-i386-xl/info.html

Just search for i386 on the osstest matrix:

http://logs.test-lab.xenproject.org/osstest/logs/125892/

osstest have a bunch of tests that run on a 32bit PV Dom0 and a bunch
of them that create 32bit PV guests, so it's certainly not
unmaintained.
