At the risk of drifting off topic a bit, I expect this would be a
welcomed update to the Xen topic on the kFreeBSD wiki page. Once
it's bootstrapped into a working root FS, the current kernel
packages have sufficient support baked in these days so it's just a
matter of having a working installer now.

In my current reference implementation, unfortunately not. These
host machines, while consisting of internally highly-redundant
components, employ older Intel Pentium III processors (Compaq
Proliant DL380 G2 series from 8+ years ago).
