I did this years ago for our favorite upstream vendor's version 4 releases while working for the BBC on a virtualization project. Given our favorite upstream vendor's insistence on support for KVM, though, are you seeing any particular benefit from the Xen kernels and software? And don't the modern Linux kernels already have the paravirtualization already built in, or do you find yourself needing the modified kernels for the best support in the guests? Also, reviewing your notes: /etc/grub.conf is a symlink to /boot/grub/grub.conf. If you're not careful editing it, and especially if you put it under RCS while editing it, you can accidentally break the symlink and make world of confusion: Edit /boot/grub/grub.conf instead. If you'd like to add notes for SELinux support to your guideline, set it to "permissive" instead of "disabled" and collect some logs. There are also some notes at http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/RHEL6_Xen4_Tutorial that look interesting.
