While I don't know of a way to do this using virt-install, I have written a tool that can do this in general called Oz: http://aeolusproject.org/oz.html. That being said, I've never tested it with Xen. In theory it should work for fully virtualized domains, but I just don't know. If you do want to try it out, what you'll have to do is edit oz.cfg before running and change the libvirt.uri key to "xen:///system". If you do give Oz a try, I am interested in your experience (both positive and negative) so that I can improve the tool.
