Based on src/libvirt.c, xenapi:// URI are similar to esx, hyperv, and
parallels - they are client-only APIs rather than APIs that talk to a
remote server.  We recently converted vbox:// to talk to a remote server
(for licensing reasons), if you want to use that as an example for how
to make xenapi:// URIs be serviced remotely instead of as a direct
client.  But in the current state of libvirt, use of xenserver APIs
requires that your client be built with -lxenserver, because libvirt
does not support xenapi via remote protocol.

Not unless someone writes a patch for it.
