The Xen Live CD does that from scratch! You just need to change three files,
one in dom0 and another one in the domU.

In dom0 /etc/xen/xend-confi.sxp configuration file:
(vnc-listen ''0.0.0.0'')
(vncpasswd ''#vncpassword2001'')

In the dom0 in your domU configuration file, do:
vfb         = [ ''type=vnc,vncdisplay=10'' ]
extra       = ''console=tty0''

and in your domU /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, do:
Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
        Driver          "fbdev"
EndSection

 You be able to start X in your domU, using VNC or SDL
 I''m on Debian Lenny 5.0.

Good luck!
