XEN is a patch on the linux kernel to enable running linux as domX
vserver is a patch on the linux kernel to create vserver in linux (sort
of super chroot).
-xen-686 is a package with only the first patch
-xen-vserver-686 is a package with the two patches
Have a look at :
http://linux-vserver.org/
http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/research/srg/netos/xen/
(in fact xen+vserver is a proof of concept that you can build a kernel
with this two patches)
