Yes.  But not impossible, just a bit hard to get right.

What about installing using the CD in for example kvm or virtualbox, and
then migrate the resulting disk image to xen?  It would be easier, as
you could install the Xen kernel files into the disk image in virtualbox
before you migrate.

Btw, according to
<URL: http://www.novell.com/support/kb/doc.php?id=3156432 > it should be
possible to boot Xen fully virtualized (instead of paravirtualized) from
a install CD.  Did you try this?
